The toolbar and most tools can be accessed via keyboard shortcuts, which you can customize in Key Bindings in Settings.

Use the Hints Panel to quickly see what shortcuts are available for the active tool.

Advisor tutorials

The first time you use the toolbar or a tool, advisor tutorials will be displayed. You can turn them off in General Settings in Settings if desired.

Moving the menu button and toolbar

You can drag the menu button and toolbar around the screen with the left mouse button.

To avoid accidental repositioning, you can lock their positions in General Settings in Settings.

If you want to declutter your screen, you can move the activation buttons of multiple mods — including TM:PE — in to the Unified UI panel.

Persistent Overlays

Most tools have an accompanying persistent summary overlay which visualizes customizations of that tool on the map. The persistent overlays will be visible whenever the Toolbar is visible, regardless of which tool is active.

You can enable persistent overlays in Overlay Settings Settings and set their transparency in General Settings in Settings.

Note that while a tool is active, it will often replace the persistent summary overlay with a more detailed overlay that contains more information.
