The command menu lets you find and run Pitchdeck actions by typing, without hunting through panels. It works while the Pitchdeck plugin window is open.
Open the command menu
- Open Pitchdeck in Figma.
- Press Command + K on macOS or Ctrl + K on Windows, or click the ⌘ K button in the header, to the left of Tools. You can also choose Commands & search from the Tools menu. On Windows the button shows Ctrl K.
- Type to filter, use ↑ and ↓ to choose, then press Enter to run it. Press Esc to close the menu.
The shortcut works when you aren't typing in a text field, and doesn't open the menu while another Pitchdeck dialog, the presenter or a settings panel is open.
Unavailable items are greyed out for the same reasons as the matching buttons, for example when nothing is selected or a feature needs Pitchdeck Pro.
What's in the menu

|---|---|
| Actions | Presentation commands such as Check presentation quality, Compare exported appearance, Animate slide, Make it move, Deck motion, Present from current slide, Copy animation, Paste animation, Undo and Redo. |
