Hi there,

Is there a way to switch kerning off and only see spacing on the Text preview?

TIA

Hi Ramiro,

Cool! What the 2 stages in the icon mean? (padlock and arrow).

Both the arrow and lock icons enable kerning. The lock icon means you can edit kerning without changing the spacing. See section 3.12.1 Preview Kerning of the Glyphs 2.3 Handbook: https://glyphsapp.com/get-started

Thanks! I can’t find a way to use shortkeys to trigger this buttons. Isn’t it possible? Maybe in the future?

It is not possible to trigger the button with a shortcut at the moment.

I’m not sure about adding a shortcut to this. Do you need to change the mode that often?
