Navigate the Ophel panel: tabs, buttons, and modes

After you install Ophel Atlas and open any supported AI site, the panel activates automatically. A side panel appears on the right edge of the screen, and a small group of floating quick-action buttons appear nearby. This page explains how each part of the panel works so you can navigate it efficiently from day one. If the panel does not appear, press to open it.

​

The three tabs

The panel has three tabs along the top. Click a tab label to switch, or use , , . Drag a tab label to reorder the visible tabs. Ophel saves the new order immediately and mirrors it in Settings, so you do not need to open the options page first.

​

Panel header

The strip at the very top of the panel gives you fast access to core controls. You can drag the title bar to reposition the panel anywhere on screen when it is in Floating mode. Double-clicking the title bar toggles between Edge Snap and Floating mode without opening settings. In Floating mode, drag the resize handle on the panel edge facing the page to change the saved panel width directly.

​

Floating quick buttons

The floating button group at the screen edge is your fastest access point to common actions without opening the full panel.

• The group auto-collapses into a pill shape after about 5 seconds of inactivity. By default, moving your cursor within 150 px of it expands it again. The wake distance is configurable: go to Settings → Quick Buttons → Proximity Wake Radius (0–300 px). Set it to 0 to enable dwell-hover mode — the group only expands after the cursor rests on the pill for 300 ms, so simply passing through it does not trigger expansion.
• When the group is collapsed, hover the panel logo for a short dwell to open a temporary panel preview beside the buttons. Moving away hides the preview; clicking the logo still opens or closes the panel persistently.
• Long-press and drag any button to reposition the entire group to a different spot on screen.

Keyboard shortcuts

​

Global search

Press , tap Shift twice, or click the search icon in the floating quick buttons to open global search. It searches across your outline headings, current platform conversation history, prompt library, and settings in a single query. You can also use advanced syntax filters:

​

Ghost pass-through mode

The panel sometimes sits over content you need to click on the AI page. Instead of closing the panel, use ghost mode: Hold for about 0.2 seconds on its own. The panel turns semi-transparent and mouse clicks pass directly through it to the page behind. Release the key to return to normal mode.

​

Edge snap and floating mode

The panel operates in one of two modes. Switch between them using the mode toggle button in the panel header, or go to Settings → General → Panel → Panel Mode. In Edge Snap mode, dragging the panel title bar pulls it away from the edge, switching it to Floating mode. While dragging, move it to the opposite side of the screen to change the snap direction.

​

Panel size and position settings

All of these are in Settings → General → Panel:

​

Quick buttons behavior

In Settings → General → Quick Buttons Behavior, you can also toggle:

• Hide quick buttons when panel is open — the floating button group automatically hides while the panel is open, and reappears when you close the panel.
