Quick Transitions

- Click: Click anywhere on the PowerStrip to expand
- Keyboard: Use any module shortcut (Control+1-9)
From Hover Back to PowerStrip
- Background Click: Click anywhere outside the Hover interface
- Auto-Collapse: Automatically collapses after inactivity (configurable)
- Escape Key: Press Escape to quickly return to PowerStrip mode
Direct Module Access
- Use keyboard shortcuts to jump directly to specific modules
- Shortcuts are dynamically assigned based on module order (Control+1, Control+2, etc.)
- See [Keyboard Shortcuts](/guide/interface-navigation/shortcuts) for complete details
- Customize module order in Settings → PowerStrip Customization
Tips for Efficient Switching
- Learn Your Module Shortcuts: Check your specific Control+# assignments in Settings
- Use Hover Behavior: Quick preview without full expansion
- Customize Auto-Collapse: Set timing that matches your workflow
- Reorder Modules: Put frequently-used modules first for easier shortcuts (Control+1 is easier to reach than Control+7)
