Pie menu & quick-recall

Reach every major feature from one key, without breaking focus.

The pie menu — press J

For when the sidebar is closed and you don't want to break focus. Eight directions, and the direction always means the same thing — you can flick at it without looking. The free edition maps: West → Scene Presets, East → Refresh Presets, South → Scene Settings, North → Save Preset, North-West → Export Library, North-East → Help, South-West → Undo Preset, South-East → Data Folder. J is the only key Stowaway claims — everything else is unbound by default, and you can assign your own in Preferences → Keymap.

Quick-recall popups

Scene Presets from the pie opens a searchable popup right under your cursor. Hovering a preset shows what's actually in it — engine, dimensions, frame range, samples — so you're choosing, not guessing.
