I assign a hotkey.  BTW, no "file browser or panels" need to be showing as
it is.  I just had a window open to the Recipes directory to show you that
the files were ending up there.  Didn't you do just that in one of your
recent videos?

As long as I leave it there.  Takes about 30 seconds to remove it or
add it.

I thought you had an actual use for the recipe thing in the print dialog?
Maybe I was wrong and you were just trolling.

I've seen that already... and addressed most of the functions you show
there with quicker methods.  Let's see, we've done the recipe thing,
the email thing, the edit thing, the preview thing.  What else would
you like me to show more efficiently than the way Mack does it?
