# keySpecifier

Returns a specifier for the object or objects to be moved.

## Declaration

```swift
var keySpecifier: NSScriptObjectSpecifier { get }
```

## Return Value

Return Value A specifier for the object or objects to be moved.

## Discussion

Discussion Note that this specifier may be different than the specifier set by setReceiversSpecifier(_:), which sets the container specifier. For example, for a command such as move the third circle to the location of the first circle, the receiver might identify a document (which has a list of graphics), while the key specifier identifies the particular graphic to be moved.
