FAQโ
The menu doesn't open with Insert.
The menu key is stored in the config and may have changed along with it. Press the script reload key (Delete by default): after loading, the menu opens by itself (unless Hide menu on load is on), and you can check or change the key in Settings โ Menu Bind. On a laptop without a separate Insert key it is usually pressed with Fn (depends on the model) โ it is easier to assign another key. More: FAQ.
The menu is too large / small. Settings โ Menu scale (50โ150%). Text size separately: Themes โ Customization โ Main โ Interface โ Text size.
What do the green and white dots on settings mean? Green โ a new setting, white โ a setting you changed. They are turned off with the "Mark new settings" and "Mark changed settings" rows.
The menu opens by itself after every script load.
That is the default. Turn on Settings โ Reload Scripts โ Hide menu on load โ the menu stays closed; open it with the menu key (Insert).
How do I get the menu tour back? Settings โ Assistant โ Menu tour.
