To add or modify a key command

1

Using the Search field (or browsing the Command List) of the Command Editor, select
the command to which you want to assign a new shortcut key combination.

2

Using your physical keyboard, press the combination of keys you want to use for the
command (for example, Shift-Option-T, or any other keys).

If the key combination is not already 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 confirm the change.

Once you make changes to the command set, you can use several methods to save the
changes.

To save a command set

µ

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.

To delete a command set

1

Make sure you are using the set you want to delete, 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.

Importing and Exporting Command Sets

Once you save a command set, you may want to export it to create a backup or to share
the new set with another user. Exported sets are saved in a file that can be imported back
into Motion at a later time.

To export a set of keyboard shortcuts

1

If necessary, use the pop-up menu to activate the command set you want to export, then
do one of the following:

2

In the Command Editor, choose Export from the pop-up menu.

3

Choose Motion > Commands > Export.

A Save As dialog appears.

4

Navigate to the location where you want to save the exported set, then type a name in
the Save As field.
