Using the Command Editor

Motion provides a wide variety of menu commands and keyboard shortcuts that let you
control almost every aspect of your project, from playback to displaying windows and
inspectors to working with tools. The Command Editor lets you search or browse the
various commands and keyboard shortcuts in Motion. In addition, the Command Editor
lets you customize keyboard shortcuts so you can streamline the way you work.

This section covers how to modify keyboard shortcuts using the Command Editor.

Use the Command Editor’s search tools to find keyboard commands, view their
descriptions, and preview highlighted key combinations in a visual representation of your
keyboard. You can modify existing shortcuts, create new shortcuts, and save multiple
sets that can be imported and exported for use by others. If you’re more familiar with
keyboard commands from other applications, you can use the Command Editor to
substitute those commands for Motion’s default set.

Motion provides four built-in sets of keyboard shortcuts for the following languages:
English, Japanese, French, and German.
