# Configuring Accerciser

To configure plugins, hotkeys, and highlighting, do either ctrl p or Edit Preferences to open a dialog.

# Configuring plugins

After opening the Preferences Dialog, you will find a list of all available plugins, with corresponding checkboxes, under the "Plugins" tab. To enable or disable a plugin, toggle its checkbox. Only active plugins can be accessed via Accerciser's interface.

Right-clicking on any given plugin allows you to choose its location: "Top Panel", "Bottom Panel", and "New View". Selecting "New View" creates a new window for the plugin.

You may bypass the Preferences dialog by using drag and drop to move a plugin from a location to another.

# Configuring global hotkeys

Some elements in Accerciser may enable certain functionalities via hotkeys. An example is the Quick Select Plugin. The hotkey combination for each functionality can be changed via the Preferences dialog, under the "Global Hotkeys" tab. Under this tab, you will find a list of all features for which hotkeys can be configured. Use the ctrl, alt, and shift checkboxes to enable or disable these modifiers.

# Configuring widget's highlighting

Some of Accerciser's elements, such as the global hotkey ctrl alt/, highlight a specific widget in a target application. The highlighting duration, border color, and fill color can be customized via the Preferences dialog, under the "Highlighting" tab.
