Did you know you can search styles list in FileMaker on macOS when [MBS FileMaker Plugin](https://www.monkeybreadsoftware.com/filemaker/) is installed?

In the layout editor in FileMaker, click on the list of styles to set focus there. Then press command key together with the F key. The search panel shows and you can enter a search term. When you press return, the next item in the list is highlighted.

| ⌘ F | shows find bar. |
| --- | --- |
| ⌘ G | goes to next found text. |

This is the same search we implemented for other lists like fields, databases, accounts, privileges or layouts. Over 20 lists in the FileMaker user interface can be searched this way.

For styles the ⌘ + and ⌘ - shortcuts won't work as they are caught by the FileMaker menu commands to zoom the whole layout.
