The selection bar is a quick toolbar that provides access to some of the most commonly used hard keys for selecting fixtures.

It is a window that can be created like any other. Learn how in the [Add Windows topic](/grandma3/2-3/wvm_add_window/). It is found in the **More** tab.

This window can be half field height.

To change the appearance, tap the MA logo in the title bar.

There are four buttons in the Selection Bar:

- [Previous](/grandma3/2-3/key_prev/) - Select the previous fixture.
- [Set](/grandma3/2-3/key_set/) - Resets the MAtricks.
- [Next](/grandma3/2-3/key_next/) - Select the next fixture.
- [Full](/grandma3/2-3/key_full/) - Gives the selected fixtures a full intensity value on the dimmer.

These soft keys behave just like the hard keys. Follow the links to learn about them.

They are also handy when working with [MAtricks](/grandma3/2-3/matricks/).
