-TM can move your character to almost limitless places, but it cannot go to every possible location in the game.  First and foremost, it is limited by the Minion Mesh system - if the location you wish to travel to is on a mesh, then TM has a good chance of getting to it. If it's not on the mesh, then TM cannot move to it - however, you can use the Minion mesh editing tool (the Navigation menu item on the Minion main menu) to fix such mesh deficiencies, and you can submit those fixes through me to have them incorporated into the Minion baseline.  Second, TM is able to get to any location that can be directly accessed after traveling to an aetheryte, aethernet, or city gate.  Locations that are behind secondary gates (like when you must talk to an NPC or open a door) are likely not accessible - but - I have provided access to a handful of useful ones in the initial release, and I do have the ability to add access to positions behind secondary gates as people identify a burning need for them.  Secondary gate access in the initial release includes locations in:  all the housing areas, the Island Sanctuary, any GC barracks or city inn, and the door to The Rising Suns - including the door to Unukalhai.  +TM can move your character to almost limitless places, but it cannot go to every possible location in the game.  First and foremost, it is limited by the Minion Mesh system - if the location you wish to travel to is on a mesh, then TM has a good chance of getting to it.

 When entering a value into a field control, when you begin to enter the text, the text will appear dimmed as a visual cue you are in the process of modifying the current value of the field.  The field value is not entered until you hit either the RETURN key or the TAB key, at which time the value might be checked, resulting in a popup if an error is detected. After dismissing an error popup, you should be returned to the field control to correct the error. If you navigate away from a field control by focusing other controls (say, by clicking in a different field control) before entering the value, the current value will be redisplayed and the value you were in the process of entering will be lost. When entering a value into a field control, when you begin to enter the text, the text will appear dimmed as a visual cue you are in the process of modifying the current value of the field.  The field value is not entered until you hit either the RETURN key or the TAB key, at which time the value might be checked, resulting in a popup if an error is detected.

-On all the tabs that enable you to travel to locations, those locations are displayed in a table, which are initially sorted in ascending order by search criteria. To travel to a particular location, you select it with the mouse and RIGHT DOUBLE CLICK on it.  The tables are scrollable, so you can bring any location desired into view. When the location list for a table is large (some of the provided ones contain thousands of locations), you can use the Find control above the table to quickly search for the ones you want to bring them into view. The Find control operates as you would expect - you type in your search criteria (which can be a lua pattern, similar to a regex), hit enter, and the search is done.  If nothing matches, you get a popup that tells you the next search will start from the top of the list.  If you get a hit, then the location is scrolled to the first table row and the Find Next and Clear buttons appear.  Each time you click Find Next, the next found location will be scrolled into the first table row, until no more hits exist, and you get the popup telling you the search will start from the top of the list.  Clicking Clear erases the search criteria in the Find control.+On all the tabs that enable you to travel to locations, those locations are displayed in a table, which are initially sorted in ascending order by search criteria.

 Whenever you select a destination that takes you to another world, TM first checks if you are near one of the portal aetherytes (Limsa Lominsa, New Gridania, or Ul'dah-Steps of Nald) , and if you are, it will use it to do the transfer.  If you are out and about in the world, then TM will select a random portal aetheryte to use for the transfer. Whenever you select a destination that takes you to another world, TM first checks if you are near one of the portal aetherytes (Limsa Lominsa, New Gridania, or Ul'dah-Steps of Nald) , and if you are, it will use it to do the transfer.  If you are out and about in the world, then TM will select a random portal aetheryte to use for the transfer.

-Finally, for some of the location lists, the columns are sortable. For sortable columns, the column headers provide buttons that allow you to sort the list according to values in that column: “^” sorts in the ascending direction (lowest to highest values), while “v” sorts in the descending direction (highest to lowest values). (The current screen shots do not show the sort button - I'm too lazy to update all the screen shots right now.)+When a table has sortable columns, the column headers provide buttons that allow you to sort the list according to values in that column: “^” sorts in the ascending direction (lowest to highest values), while “v” sorts in the descending direction (highest to lowest values).

 +When a table supports searching column data for a particular entry, the following controls will appear before the table: 
 + 
 +| Find | Text Field | Enter a search command that will be matched against one or more predetermined columns.  When a hit occurs, the row containing the hit will be scrolled to the first displayed row. If there are multiple hits, use the "Find Next" Button control to go to the next one.  When no more hits are available, you will receive a popup informing you the search will continue from the beginning of the table.  You can use the "Clear" Button control to terminate the search. | 
 +| LUA pattern Enabled | Check Box | When checked, the search command is treated as a LUA pattern (Please see https://www.lua.org/pil/20.2.html for the details) that any column matching it will hit.  When not checked, the search command is treated as a text string that any column containing it will hit. |
