Since v2.8 Aperture Data Studio has had a command palette that makes shortcuts and access to frequent actions more discoverable and accessible.

Simply press CTRL + SHIFT + P from anywhere in the application to open the Quick Actions menu (and use the same shortcut or Esc to close the menu).

The list of actions shown is contextual depending on where you are in the application and this list will update as you begin typing. For example, when editing a Workflow, you can type “add filter step” to automatically add a Filter step on your current Workflow.

After selecting a high-level action like ‘Edit Workflow’, the list will then contain the Workflows for you to select the one you are looking to edit.
