Control keys to move lines up and down

July 19, 2025Jul 19

Did you know, that FileMaker allows you to move lines up and down in ScriptWorkspace with cursor keys while control key is pressed?

Pick a line and press down the control key and simultaneously press up or down cursor key. This moves the selected lines in Script Workspace up or down by one line.

For MBS FileMaker Plugin 15.3, we add the same feature for the calculation editor on macOS. Just hold down the control key and press cursor up/down to move the current selected rows by one row up and down.

This feature is enabled by default on macOS and so far it seems to work fine for our clients. Please try it!
