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.

By default, QuickMenu offers the following options:

4. Merge Down

5. Clear Layer

You can change any of these buttons to the Procreate functions you need the most. Invoke QuickMenu, and press-and-hold the button you want to change. After a moment, the Set Action menu will pop up. Scroll through the list of options and tap the one you want.

Procreate will remember your custom button settings.

Find having access to only six QuickMenu buttons limiting? Assign a different set of buttons to an alternative QuickMenu Profile. You can create as many alternative QuickMenu Profile as you like.
