Keyboard shortcut for global snap toggle?
by Pablo Fernandez 08 Feb '22

08 Feb '22

Dear inkscape users, I have installed the latest inkscape available in ppa:inkscape.dev/stable for Ubuntu 20.04. I would like to change the default keyboard shortcut for toggling global snap from the default "%" to "F" (or "f") key. That used to work for me in inkscape 1.0 and previous versions thanks to the following lines in ~/.config/inkscape/keys/default.xml file: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="no"?> <keys name="My custom shortcuts"> <bind key="f" action="ToggleSnapGlobal" display="true" /> <bind key="F" action="ToggleSnapGlobal" display="true" /> </keys> But since, I think, 1.1 version, my custom keyboard shortcut "F" is not working any more. I have also tried to change the shortcut via Preferences, Keyboard, Shortcuts but I don't see how to do it. For completion, I have another shortcut defined in the same file which does work for opening the Tex Text extension: <bind key="j" action="org.ekips.filter.textext" display="true"/> I appreciate your help, Best wishes, Pablo

Opening .pdf file gets completely white figure
by Luiz Enger 02 Feb '22

02 Feb '22

Hello everyone, I'm having a problem with Inkscape version 1.1.1 on my Macbook macOS Monterey 12.1, running on a M1 Pro chip. Whenever I open a .pdf file, all I get is a completely white image. Just a white square, nothing else. I've used Inkscape for years on Ubuntu and never had this problem before. Could anyone give any advice? Thanks a lot! Kind regards, Luiz Guilherme Enger
