My keyboards default language/layout is Latin American spanish because of this I need to type option(alt)+2 to get "@" or option(alt)+3 to get #, But now when i do so the app switches between design, prototype and share mode and not only it's annoying but it also affects how keyboards function with preset key combinations to enter symbols/special characters.

    Please note that we are working on the keyboard shortcut issue still being seen on windows platform. It would be available soon in one of the upcoming releases.

    Adobe XD team surprises me every update. Learn how windows works...

     

    First things first - old bug, still (from about 5-6 updates) not fixed:
    Shift + Alt (grammar) + S

    It's set as "save as...", NEVER use grammar Alt as shortcut! This should be a polish "Ś".

     

    Second - who was so genius to set Alt+1 / Alt+2 / Alt+3 as shortcuts to design/prototype/share?

    From years, adobe xd don't have any glyphs panel. Many experienced designers know shortcuts to most popular glyphs, but now you ruined even that...

     

    Example: "–" (long dash) = Alt + 1 + 5 + 0 (Alt150)

     

    Guess what happens when u hit number "1" with Alt held down...

     

    Offcourse for my favourite admin:
    Windows 10 Pro
    Adobe XD: 4.3.57.2

      Please please please change the Switch to Share mode shortcut on a Mac:

      • ⌥3

       

      On a Mac keyboard (UK layout) this the the key sequence for the # (hash) character.....needed suprisingly often in UI design....

       

      Currently I have to go off to another application (any) type the # there and copy and paste it back into XD....delightful!!

       

      please fix this....

      This was fixed with version 32.2 - can you update your XD and see if it's fixed?

          Hi all. 

          With new update, the shortcut option+2 appeared. it happens that now, everytime i try to type an email address for example, it toggles to Prototype Mode.

          I am on a Mac

          How can i put this shortcut off?
          Thanks

            Hi Joel,

             

            Sorry to hear about the trouble. Could you please update XD to the latest version which is 32.2.22 and let us know if it works or if you are still facing any issue with shortcuts?

             

            Regards

            I can't type a hashtag in this version of Xd... It brings up the share panel instead. 

             

            The key command shortcuts should be overridden when you're typing - I need to be able to type certain characters!

              Since the new shortcuts to acces the design, prototype and share tabs were added, I'm unable to press Option+3 to type down the hash symbol "#". This is quiet inefficient since i have to type the symbol outside the application and proceed to paste it in the XD file.

              Seriously, who @ the XD team came up with this move? Shortcuts with ALT/Option + a number.

               

              On Swiss/French Keyboards the # is made like this.

               

              And still no custom Shurtcuts/Prefs in XD 😞
