Chapter 28 Keyboard shortcuts 1089
Keys assigned to work with the selected modier key appear marked with a dark gray dot.
2 If necessary, click another modier button (or modier key in the virtual keyboard) to create
a combination.
The virtual keyboard updates to show which keys are assigned to shortcuts that use those
combined modier keys.
Customize keyboard shortcuts
Customizing shortcuts in the Command Editor is easy. Because the default Standard Set includes
commands for which no shortcut is dened, you may want to apply a new shortcut to them.
Because you cannot modify the Standard Set, you must duplicate that set and then customize
the new duplicate set.
Duplicate the active command set
1 Choose Duplicate from the pop-up menu at the top of the Command Editor.
A dialog appears and prompts you to name the new set.
2 Enter a name in the dialog, then click OK.
The new duplicate set is saved and appears as an item at the bottom of the pop-up menu and
the top-level Motion > Commands menu.
Add or modify a keyboard shortcut
Now that you have a duplicate set of assigned keyboard shortcuts, you can modify the key
settings to create new or modied shortcuts.
1 Using the Search eld of the Command Editor, nd and select the command you want to assign
a keyboard shortcut to.
Alternatively, you can nd the command by browsing through the Command List.
2 Using your physical keyboard, press the combination of keys you want to use for the command
(for example, Option-Shift-T).
If the key combination is not assigned to a command, the virtual keyboard updates to show the
new key assignment. A gray dot appears on a newly assigned key (or keys), and a color is applied
if the command belongs to a color-coded command group.
If the key combination is already assigned to a command, Motion displays the current setting,
and prompts you to conrm the change.
Save a command set
After you make changes to the command set, you can use the following method to save
the changes.
m Click the Save button in the lower-right corner of the Command Editor.
If you close the Command Editor with unsaved changes, Motion prompts you to save the set.
Delete a command set
1 Make sure the set you want to delete is selected as the active set, then choose Delete from the
pop-up menu at the top of the Command Editor.
A dialog appears.
2 Click Delete.
The set is removed, and the Standard Set becomes the active set of commands.
