Crop Window hotkeys

Post by David.P »

[Topic split by admin from viewtopic.php?t=48461 - as this topic deserves its own thread]

While we are looking at the Crop Pages dialog, could the bounding box of the crop tool be made to behave like a normal rectangle box/text box comment within PDF-XChange Editor when holding down modifier keys?

Specifically, implementing SHIFT and/or ALT to constrain proportions and CTRL to resize from the center would ensure consistent behavior, improving usability and predictability.

Hello, David.P

Thank you for the suggestion, You will notice I split this out from the other topic, as while adjacently related, it did not quite fit into that discussion (and because it helps to keep each topic discreet for reporting requests and bugs to the dev team).

In this case, I will be forwarding your suggestion to the Devs. I cannot promise that it will be implemented, but they will take a look and consider it when there is time to do so.

Kind regards,

Thank you, David P., for suggesting this and thank you, Daniel and the DevTeam, for implementing this. It will be a very useful enhancement and I confirm that it seems to be working.
All best,
