Activate the QuickMenu Shortcut: Toggle any of the available shortcuts to activate QuickMenu. Common options include:
- Touch: Activate the QuickMenu by touching the screen with a specified number of fingers.
- Apple Pencil Double-Tap (if supported): If you have a compatible iPad and Apple Pencil, you can set the double-tap gesture on the Apple Pencil to trigger the QuickMenu.

Once a shortcut is activated, you can trigger the QuickMenu while working on your canvas by performing the selected gesture. You can then customize the six available slots with your most frequently used tools and actions for faster workflow.
