Command Editor Interface

The upper half of the Command Editor displays a virtual keyboard. The lower half contains
a Command List that sorts menu commands by group and offers a brief description of
each command, along with its associated key combination, if any.

The virtual keyboard is color-coded to help you identify the type of command each key
performs. For example, transport commands, such as Play (Space bar) and Record (A), are
light blue, while alignment commands are pink. The Command Groups window on the
left side of the Command List contains a clickable color key for reference.

Keys that are assigned to shortcuts are marked with a dark gray dot, while unassigned
keys have no additional markings. Several keys are shaded with a hatch pattern, indicating
that they are reserved for system use.

Choosing a Set

By default, Motion uses the Standard Set of commands, with the language choice that
you specified when you set up your computer.

To choose a key command set
Do one of the following:

µ

Choose Motion > Commands, then choose a set from the submenu.

µ

If the Command Editor is already open, choose a set from the pop-up menu in the
upper-left corner.

Once you choose the command set you want, the keyboard shortcuts in the set become
active in Motion.

Saved sets appear at the
bottom of the menus.
