Enable, invoke, and customize QuickMenu for one-touch flexibility and convenience.
QuickMenu offers you a fully customizable radial menu so you can work your way, fast.
Every part of QuickMenu is customizable, from the six radial buttons to the shortcut you use to invoke it.
If you use Apple Pencil to paint and have no need for painting with a finger, assign a one-finger tap or squeeze (Apple Pencil Pro required) as the shortcut to invoke QuickMenu. Calling up all your most-used tools with one quick and memorable gesture will speed up your workflow over time.
Assign a custom shortcut to activate QuickMenu.
Tap Actions > Prefs > Gesture controls > QuickMenu, and toggle any shortcut to activate QuickMenu.
If you use Apple Pencil to paint, we recommend using Touch or squeeze (Apple Pencil Pro required) to trigger QuickMenu.

Tap to call up QuickMenu, or touch-drag to pick the function you need at lightning speed.
If you invoke QuickMenu with Touch, a one-finger tap will open the radial menu. It will remain open until you tap a button to select that option.
For a faster result using Touch, try a touch-drag gesture: when you tap, leave your finger held down, drag in the direction of your desired button, and release to select it.
Once you grow familiar with the location of each button in your radial QuickMenu, you can perform this touch-drag movement so quickly it becomes a simple muscle-memory flick in the right direction to trigger the option you need.
