Understand the floating dot, toolbar, and Suggestions

The floating dot is the quickest way to control dotScribe while you work. Single-click it to turn typing Suggestions on or off; double-click it to open or close the toolbar.

Floating dot

  • Single-click: turn typing Suggestions on or off.
  • Double-click: open or close the dotScribe toolbar.

Toolbar

Open the toolbar when you want a deliberate dotScribe action instead of waiting for Suggestions while you type.

  • Search: enter what you want to find.
  • LEGEND: view keyboard shortcuts and usage tips.
  • LIBRARY: browse dotScribe content.
  • AI - GPT: open dotScribe AI when that option is available to your account.
  • Menu: open dotScribe options and settings.

Suggestions

When Suggestions are on, dotScribe can show matching content as you type. Select a useful result, review it, then use your execute key when you want to insert it.

You can also turn Suggestions on or off from the dotScribe menu, or use Ctrl + Shift + Period.

If Suggestions are missing when they should be on, see Fix missing or stopped Suggestions.
