    I’ve recently installed Otterhud dash and was exploring the layout options and entered widget mode which has displayed everything on screen , now I can’t exit this screen it appears to be locked and what ever key I press or mouse button I click doesn’t do anything , including all hot keys ?
    I really want to use this hud overlay but I’ve tried deleting and reinstalling and nothing works ?
    Can anyone help me ?
    Many thanks

    Michael

    Hey Michael,

    I think from memory, Left hand side, click cog that pop's up, then bottom right click widgets again.

    The cog has dissapeared and no hot keys work and its locked in this state , even if i delete program and reinstall it just reverts back to this locked screen/state ?

    Try Shift and Down Arrow.

    May be on that link, but have you tried: CONTROL+SHIFT+ALT+L
    (to toggle lock/unlock)

    Then SHIFT-DOWN related to widget mode?

    Problem solved , it was locked and the hot key enabled me to use the cog again to disable my problem , being calm and not a angry noob really helps to solve problems.
    thanks again to jason for replying to my post , very helpfull
