Some of the shortcuts you'll see in the ELN are actually special commands. These commands will show you different menus depending on which key you used to trigger them.

Examples of special commands include the following:

1. LIMS Menu: “/” key. Shown in Fig 1.
2. Chemical Categories Menu: “#” key. Shown in Fig 2.
3. Polymerization Mechanisms Menu: “&” key. Shown in Fig 3.
4. Emojis Menu: “:” key. Shown in Fig 4.

All of the special commands accept dynamic filtering, where what you type alters the list of displayed items.
