Customizing Keyboard Shortcuts
Customizing shortcuts in the Command Editor is fast and easy. Because the default
Standard Set includes commands for which no shortcut is defined, you may want to
apply a new shortcut to them. Because you cannot modify the Standard Set, you must
first duplicate that set and then customize new duplicate set.
To duplicate the currently 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 Type a name in the dialog, then click OK.
The new duplicate set is saved and appears as an item at the bottom of both the pop-
up menu and the top-level Motion > Commands menu.
Now that you have a duplicate set of assigned keyboard shortcuts, you can modify the
individual key settings to create new or modified shortcuts.
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 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:
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.
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.
