I am unable to either use the existing F3 and F4 shortcuts or, indeed change them to something else, any suggestions? Otherwise such as useful app, wish I'd found it years ago!

It defaults to F4, but you can customize it in the Settings -> General tab as shown below:

You helped me via email once and solved the issue by suggesting I press Command-R to refresh the grid, which I had no idea was a thing.

In any case, thanks again! Very grateful. smile

Thanks for the feedback. Will try and remember to update here once the new shortcut is added.

Note that you can currently also open the floating Drop Bar by holding the option key when dragging items onto Drop Bar in the main grid.

Is there a chance that may get a keyboard shortcut toggle at some point as well? (Sorry, we're just never satisfied, are we? wink )

See screenshots below:

Don't see anything in settings or in the UI. Is there a keyboard shortcut?
