The Motion menu bar provides access to nearly every control in the application. Many
menu items are context sensitive, so they are dimmed when the command cannot be
performed based on the current state of the application or what is selected. This section
serves as a reference guide for all menus.

Many of these commands have shortcut keys that perform the same command from the
keyboard. These shortcuts are listed in parentheses after the description.
