# Hand Menu

> You can **perform actions in one step** without opening the panel, making your VR experience smoother and more efficient.

{% hint style="warning" %}
Pressing the Spot button hides the monitor to avoid interference when selecting anchors.\
After moving to the desired location, <mark style="color:red;">**press the Spot button again to show the monitor**</mark>.
{% endhint %}

## Menu

* The menu button toggles the main menu, which floats in the space, on or off.
* When using the monitor, hiding the main menu will remove the ray from your hand or controller, allowing you to focus better on your work.

### 1. Short click

* Tap the "Menu" button to turn the **main menu on or off**, showing or hiding it where it currently is.

### 2. Long click

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://overay-inc.gitbook.io/overaydesk/guide/getting-started/hand-menu.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
