How to bring up actions list?

I was trying to follow the example in the redgate youtube video:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=56&v=FHZ9ArCth-0

The video says to highlight a block of text and press control (ctrl) to bring up the actions list...but when I press ctrl, I don't get the actions list icon that is shown in the video.  I'm using SSMS 17.6 and SQLPrompt 9.1.1

Is there a different way to bring up the actions list?  I don't see anything labeled "actions list" in the SQLPrompt menu in SSMS.

    Pressing control brings up a menu item, but this as soon as you highlight code, the Prompt icon appears on the left side. Pressing control opens a menu, or you can click this.

    I have SSMS 17.6 and Prompt 9.1.x
    Here I have nothing selected:



    I'll now highlight code. As soon as I do this, the Prompt icon is on the left.
     

    I can click this, or hit CTRL to open the menu


    A quick blog post with animation here: https://voiceofthedba.com/2018/04/19/the-prompt-actions-menu/

    Hi, Thanks I did see that in the video and online information, however I don't get that Q icon when I highlight or press ctrl.

    Ok, after some poking around in the settings, I found that I didn't have a check in the "Show actions list for selected text" checked...I don't recall unchecking that, so not sure how it became unchecked...but that seems to have solved my issue.

    Ah, didn't know you could turn that off. I'll make a note and update some documentation.
