You can search for items in the 'filter' field. Select the item you want to process and click on an arrow in (4). Arrows up and down move the selected item up or down in the list. Arrow left deletes it from the list. 4 - Arrows to move items around in the list (up or down) and into or out of the lists (left or right). .. tip:: If you are running out of screen space because you have many tracks it is a good idea to move commands or actions from the menu to the Extra or Timeline Toolbar, and also from the Status Bar to the Timeline Toolbar. Then switch off the menu bar in :menuselection:`Settings --> Show Menubar` or with :kbd:`Ctrl+M` and the Status Bar in :menuselection:`Settings --> Show Statusbar`. Please note that with the Status Bar off you will not get any keybinding information. Hiding and Showing the Toolbars ------------------------------- You can also control this from the :ref:`toolbars_shown` menu item in the :menuselection:`Settings` menu.
