Motion 5 - Searching for Commands

Searching for Commands

Use the Search field in the upper-right corner of the Command Editor to locate a command
or keyboard equivalent. You can search by command name, description, or keyboard
shortcut.

To search for a keyboard shortcut

µ

In the Command Editor, click in the Search field and enter a word that describes the
keyboard shortcut you need.

The Command List immediately displays the search results, listing all commands and key
combinations related to the search term.

You can narrow your search by choosing a category from the Search field pop-up menu.
The menu items include All, Command, Description, and Key Equivalent.

Note: Do not use the Shift key to capitalize letters when typing in the Search field. The
Search field recognizes the Shift key as a modifier key in a keyboard shortcut.

You can use the Search field with the virtual keyboard to highlight keyboard shortcuts.

To search for and highlight a shortcut on the virtual keyboard

Motion filters the Command List as you type and highlights the keys related to your search
term.

For example, in the image below, the search term “Ripple” returns two keyboard shortcuts
for the Ripple Delete command, and the command keys are highlighted in the virtual
keyboard.
