Command palette

The command palette lets you find and run any command by typing part of its name.

Press / anywhere in the app, start typing, then press Enter to run the highlighted command.

Using it

1. Press /. The palette opens with the cursor in the search box and every available command listed.
2. Type part of a command's name. The palette lists every command that contains what you type, so warp finds Warp tool, Go to Warp, Warp: 4-Corner and Warp: Bezier Mesh, while bez finds only Warp: Bezier Mesh.
3. Move the highlight with Up / Down, or point at a command with the mouse.
4. Press Enter to run it. The palette closes.

To close the palette without running anything, press Esc or click outside it. If nothing matches, the palette reads No matching commands.

Search covers more than the visible name

The palette also matches the group heading a command is listed under, and related search words. For example, keystone finds Warp: 4-Corner and Go to Warp, fbx finds Add Surface: 3D File…, midi finds Go to Control, and a projector's name finds its Select command. Type a group name, such as create, navigate or toggle, to list everything in that group.

/ doesn't open the palette while you're typing in a text field, so renaming a cuelist or typing a file name never opens it by accident.

Find a node on the scene graph

What you type also finds scene graph nodes by name. They're listed after the commands, under Show in Scene Graph, each with its kind: surfaces, materials (as Surface · Material), selection sets (as Surface · Set), projectors, cuelists, assets and folders. Up to 30 nodes are listed, and only once you've typed something. Choose one, and the scene graph opens, any collapsed folder around the node opens, the view moves to the node, and it's selected as if you had clicked it.

The commands

The palette lists its commands in these groups, in this order.

Show

Always listed first.

Command	Shortcut	What it does
Blackout / End Blackout	Shift+B	Takes every projector to black, or back, while the show keeps running. Also found by typing black, dark or outputs. See Blackout

Create

Listed only when a project is open.

Command	What it does
Add Projector	Opens the Add Projector window, where you choose the make and model or enter them by hand. See Adding a projector.
Add Selection Set	Creates a selection set on the current projector and surface, named after the projector (Projector A, then Projector A 2 and so on), holding every point of the surface that the projector lights (see Several materials on one surface). Listed only when the scene has a surface and either a single projector or a selected one.
Add Surface: Plane	Adds a built-in flat plane in the middle of the Scene's view, and selects it.
Add Surface: Box, Pyramid, Cylinder, Cone, Sphere, Dome, Curved screen, Disc	Adds that built-in shape in the same way.
Add Surface: 3D File…	Asks for an OBJ, FBX, glTF or GLB file, uploads it to Assets, and adds a surface from it once the upload finishes.
Add Surface: Empty (choose its shape later)	Adds a surface with no geometry yet. Give it a shape or a model later with Change Source.
Add Material: Surface	Adds another material to that surface, mapped by UV across the whole surface, and selects it. There's one command for each surface with room for another material, except on a phone and on surfaces someone else is editing. Set its mapping and limit in its Properties. Type material to list them.

The Scene's + adds the same things, and more. See Adding projectors and surfaces.

These commands create a starting point. Set the resolution, throw ratio, position and the rest in the projector's settings or on the Scene tab. Running one doesn't change tabs: the palette closes and you stay where you were.

Projectors

One command for each projector in the project, with its color dot:

Command	What it does
Select (projector name)	Makes that projector the active one, so the warp, mask and output views all work on it. The first nine show their key, 1 to 9.

1 to 9 select the first nine projectors directly, without the palette. For the tenth and beyond, or when you don't remember the order, type any part of the projector's name.
