Keyboard shortcuts overview
Use keyboard shortcuts to streamline your work in Motion. The tables in this chapter organize
keyboard shortcuts by menu, component, and task. Some keyboard shortcuts are always active,
whether you are working in the group that they are listed in. However, other keyboard shortcuts
are only active under special circumstances.
Note: Some keyboard shortcuts described in this chapter may conflict with system commands
assigned to the OS X Finder.
The keyboard shortcuts listed in the following pages are the Standard Set of shortcuts available
in Motion. You can use the Command Editor to customize and save your own keyboard shortcuts
to create a set that works best for you. The Command Editor lets you import and export saved
sets, as well as duplicate a set of shortcuts to modify.
Each category of shortcuts is listed in the Help table of contents (the sidebar to the left of this window).
Enable function keys on portable Macintosh computers
By default on OS X, the F1–F12 keys are assigned to Mission Control, hardware controls, such as
brightness, audio volume, numlock, and so on. Therefore, you must press the Function (Fn) key
with the F-key to invoke F-key commands in software applications.
You can change keyboard preferences so the F-keys work in the traditional manner, without
pressing the Fn key. When this setting is activated, you can press the Fn key with the F-key to
activate the hardware commands.
Enable traditional function keys
m In the Keyboard pane of the Keyboard preferences in System Preferences, select the “Use
all F1, F2, etc. keys as standard function keys” checkbox. Uncheck the box to return to the
default setting.
