Find and Add a Component

To find and add a Component via the keyboard:

1. Open the Interplay Plugin and type the name of the Component you want to add.

2. Keep typing until the Component or example comes to the top of the list, or **use the ↑ and ↓ arrows** on your keyboard to pick it.

3. Type **⏎ return** to add the default (first) Example of the Component you selected.

👉 Pro tip: With a frame selected on canvas, hit return to add the selected component as a child of the selected frame. If the selected frame has Auto-Layout applied, you can rapidly assemble layouts without leaving the keyboard.
