How to use

Summon the panel anytime for quick notes and clipboard history

At its core, H2 Panel lets you quickly bring up a panel for jotting notes and finding clipboard history.

By default the panel stays hidden — move the pointer to the top of the screen to show it (and hold Shift with the default setting).

  1. 1

    Open the panel

    Hold Shift and move the pointer to the top of the screen — the panel slides down from the menu bar.
