Treat Ouros ⌥ like a game controller

  1. You get better with practice.
  2. The keys are easy to remember.
  3. Change them to suit you in Settings, under Keyboard.
  • Right Option (solo tap): Opens Ouros. In the compact bar, another solo tap switches to the next of the 6 modes.
  • Escape: Returns to what you were doing.
  • Right Command (solo tap): Starts or stops voice input / dictation.
  • Command K (⌘K): Opens the action palette in Notes and other screens.

The 6 core modes​

  • 1. File Finder: Find apps and files as you type.
  • 2. Command Line: Local shell session that stays open when you hide and show the bar.
  • 3. Browser Search: Preview a web page, with Paper Mode (powered by Zilch) for clean, readable text.
  • 4. Personal Assistant: Ask for help without switching apps.
  • 5. Song Selector: Play music and switch tracks in the bar.
  • 6. Notes: A Markdown notepad that saves to files on your Mac.
