Power input mode is a user-friendly productivity assistant allowing you to:
* enter numeric data more easily in editable fields and spinners (but cannot be used in combo lists); as such, it is intended as an alternative to typing values in dialog boxes (dialog boxes are however still available)
* enter commands directly (by typing the c: followed by the name of the command)
* entering selection queries using the query language available for the Edit->Search... command.

To activate power input mode, select the Tools->Options... command, click the General tab, and click the P2 option, then restart your session.
The power input field is located in the bottom right corner
