  • Layer marker dialog box: >>keyboard<< exit from?

    Posted by Eric Chard on June 2, 2015 at 7:10 pm

    When using the Layer Marker dialog box to add a label to a layer marker, once you start typing there doesn’t seem to be a way to exit the dialog box via the keyboard.

    I >>LOATHE<< taking my hands from the keyboard when using software, because the mouse is so slow. Is there a keyboard combo that will dismiss the dialog, WITH the changes? TNX ++++++++++++++++ "Putting the HARM in 'harmonica' since 2005." ++++++++++++++++

    Never mind: found it! (Probably, “again”.)

    It’s NUMPAD ENTER. I thought I’d tried that, but apparently not.

    I’m just thankful a way exists!

    Try a Wacom tablet. I find that it’s way better in AE. I often have my left hand on the keyboard and my right hand with pen on the wacom.
