Pivit
Built-in Plugins

System

Audio, brightness, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, locking and power commands.

Direct controls for the machine, so changing a system setting does not mean opening a system settings panel.

Commands

Every one is available on the Pivit Wheel. Lock Screen is on it by default.

Worth binding

Toggle Mute and Lock Screen are the two most people bind to a shortcut — both are things you want instantly, often while something else has your attention.

Sleep, Restart and Shut Down act immediately. Give them a shortcut only if you are confident you will not press it by accident, and keep them off the wheel unless you have a reason to want them a flick away.

Availability

This plugin is Windows-only and does not load on other platforms. Brightness control depends on your display reporting itself to Windows correctly; external monitors connected over some inputs do not, in which case the brightness commands will have no visible effect.

Settings

None.
