Hi Mohammad, I updated it sometime after 11pm EST yesterday, at the same link <https://clutterstack.github.io/can-tw/clutterstack-TW5-com/#%24%3A%2FCommander:%24%3A%2FCommander>. It is faster, but also lists variables multiple times, so I made a mistake with my filters. I will look at it again today and post here when I update again.
