The icon (3 circles) is in the task manager next to where the windows clock is...double clicking it will make it turn red and pause it. RMB over it will point you to the controls.


Press and hold hotkey, make selection with left mouse click and then release hotkey.

The menus will disappear as soon as you release the hotkey.


The master menu (alt + left) should remain until you make a selection. This can be modified in the general settings.

 


I am on Windows 7
