# Using the menu

Once Kaizo is running, use the menu to turn features on and off.

## How to open the menu

Press one of these keys:

{% hint style="success" %}
**Insert** or **Home**

Both keys do the same thing. Use whichever is easier on your keyboard.
{% endhint %}

* **Insert** - opens or closes the menu
* **Home** - opens or closes the menu

Press the same key again to close it.

{% hint style="info" %}
When the menu is closed, clicks go through to the game.
{% endhint %}

{% hint style="warning" %}
**Insert not working?** Some users have reported that updating their kernel fixed Insert. Try **Home** in the meantime, or open the menu from the tray icon.
{% endhint %}

## If the keys do nothing

1. Check your system tray. Kaizo has a tray icon. You can open the menu from there as a backup.
2. Make sure Kaizo is running with the right privileges so it can read keyboard input. See [How to run](/kaizo-docs/installation/how-to-run.md) and [Common issues](/kaizo-docs/common-issues.md).
3. If Insert still does nothing, update your kernel and reboot. Some users have reported that fixed it.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## 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://kaizo-1.gitbook.io/kaizo-docs/about-kaizo/using-the-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.
