Click-through & opacity
Two controls decide how much the overlay gets in your way: whether it takes mouse input, and how visible its background is.
Click-through mode
Press ⌘⌥M and the overlay stops receiving mouse events entirely. Clicks, drags, and scrolls pass straight through to whatever is behind it — your editor, the coding pad, the meeting window — while the overlay stays visible and readable on top.
The edge hub stays clickable, so you can always end the session or toggle back.
Opacity
Opacity controls how solid the workspace background is. Response text and the controls stay sharp at every level — only the panel behind them fades.
| Shortcut | Effect |
|---|---|
| ⌘⌥[ | More transparent — the app recedes into the background. |
| ⌘⌥] | More opaque — easier to read against a busy screen. |
Hide and show
⌘⌥W removes the overlay from your screen instantly. The same key brings it back, with your session and thread intact. This is the one to learn first — it is the fastest way to clear your screen if the conversation takes a turn you did not expect.
