Usage

This extension will add the following new actions to the action list (Actions -> Show action list...):

Command Palette: Show

This will show a small window with a text field. Start typing what you are looking for (actions, effect plugins, etc.) and hit enter when the desired command is selected to execute it. The window can be closed (without executing a command) by pressing the Escape key. See the built-in help for more useful tips.

It is highly recommended to set up a keyboard shortcut for this command for easy access.

Command Palette: Reload

This action will reload the command plaette. Run this after actions that might add or remove commands (scanning new plugins, changing keyboard shortcuts, adding or removing custom scripts/actions, etc.)

Command Palette: Zoom +/-10%

Adjust the scaling of the UI. The adjusted scale factor is saved automatically.

Command Palette: Zoom Reset

Reset UI scaling to the default value
