GAAAHHH!
Illustrator: Could they have chosen a more obscure, confusing or ridiculous command to stick on the system default key for “Hide Application”
I think the first time I accidently pressed this I came close to reinstalling Illustrator, I thought my config had become corrupt somehow because I couldn’t understand why my fucking paths no longer showed up.
So that's what keeps happening to my damn paths!
Thank you, Adobe UI Gripes! I've been tearing my hair out for years in dread of the inevitable Moment of Mysterious Inexplicable Path Disappearance, upon which I would be forced to create a new document and paste everything from the previous one into it, because nothing else including wheedling and shouting made them come back. For God's sake! That's all it ever was?!
Do you know what it's like to try to manipulate paths and control points when you can't see them even when they're activated?
I'm finding this guy's blog oh so cathartic.
