Pause

Hand the page back to you, and freeze a hover menu or tooltip to inspect it.

Press P to step aside and use the page: hovering stops, and clicks and keys go back to the page. Your selection, guides and rulers stay. Press P again to resume.

Freeze a hover menu

Pausing also holds the page as it is, so you can inspect a menu or tooltip that closes the moment the pointer leaves it.

  1. Open the menu or tooltip by hovering it.
  2. Press P, then move the pointer away.
  3. The menu stays open. The hovered element keeps its hover styles, and the page is not told the pointer or focus has left. Inspect it now.
  4. Press P again to resume, and the menu is allowed to close.
