# Quick access panel

A small floating grid of every capture action — reach any capture mode without
remembering its shortcut or opening the menu bar / tray menu.

## Opening the panel

- Press the Quick Access Panel shortcut — `⌘⇧P` on macOS or `Ctrl+Shift+P` on Windows (the default; you can change it in **Settings → Shortcuts**)
- Choose **Quick Access Panel** from the menu bar / tray menu
- Click the hypershot icon in the Dock (macOS) or taskbar (Windows) while hypershot is running — if an editor is open, it comes forward instead

The panel opens centered on the screen your cursor is on. Triggering it again while it's open closes it.

## Tiles

| Tile | What it does |
|------|--------------|
| **Region** | A region capture — see [Area Capture](/docs/hypershot/capturing/area-capture) |
| **Window** | A window capture — see [Window Capture](/docs/hypershot/capturing/window-capture) |
| **Screen** | A full-screen capture — see [Screen Capture](/docs/hypershot/capturing/screen-capture) |
| **Scrolling** | A scrolling capture — see [Scrolling Capture](/docs/hypershot/capturing/scrolling-capture) |
| **OCR** | An OCR capture — see [OCR Capture](/docs/hypershot/capturing/ocr-capture) (disabled where OCR isn't available) |
| **Scan Codes** | Freeze every screen and find QR codes / barcodes — see [QR Scanning](/docs/hypershot/capturing/qr-scanning) |
| **Delayed** | A delayed region capture — see [Delayed Capture](/docs/hypershot/capturing/delayed-capture) |
| **Folder Pane** | Shows the [preview folder](/docs/hypershot/capturing/capture-history) |
| **Settings** | Opens Settings |

Clicking a tile closes the panel first, so it never ends up in your capture.

## Closing the panel

- Press **Escape**
- Click anywhere outside it
- Trigger it again (shortcut, menu item, or Dock / taskbar icon)
