Search finds anything you can add or run by name: every menu command, every effect, every geometry operator (Generators, Effectors, Dynamics, Deformers), the modifiers (Wiggle, Set Driver/Driven, Linear, Expression), Shape Ops (Add Shape Repeater, Add Grid, Add Trim Paths, Add Group Transform) and a few layer commands (New Solid, New Text Layer, New Adjustment Layer, One Null per Selected Layer).
It exists in two forms:
- Popup: press ⌃Space (Ctrl+Space) and it opens at the mouse pointer. Picking an entry closes it.
- Panel: Window ▸ Search docks the same list. It stays open after you use it.
Using it
- Type in Search effects, geometry, modifiers, menus….
- Pick a result with the mouse or the keyboard.
Results are grouped by section and show the shortcut where there is one. Items that add something to a layer need a selected layer first.
Favorites
Click the star on any result to make it a favorite. Favorites turn gold and appear as short-name chips under the search field, one click away next time. Click the star again to remove it. Favorites are saved per machine.
