Is there any way to create a new layer which is an image of the flattened visible layers?

Basicly the equivalent of Photoshop's Command+Option+Shift+E shortcut in Sketch.

Sure is! Under the Layer menu is Flatten Selection to Bitmap. I've bound mine to Command+Shift+B via the Keyboard system settings.

    Thank you :) This option however doesn't create a new layer without removing the others as I was hoping for.

There's no shortcut way to do this, you could however use the method mentioned above, just make sure you duplicate the layers before you flatten them to bitmap.

2 shortcuts are still better than a whole set of clicks I guess?

  • Thanks. Rather than that I guess it would be easier to flatten to Bitmap, copy the resulting bitmap, undo and paste it.

    That's 4 steps instead of 2... Duplicate > Flatten to bitmap = shorter = faster :)
