# The whole strip, at a glance

Hold ⌃⌥ and an overview of the strip appears: every column at its width, with the part on screen outlined. Click a column to jump there, or drag it to reorder.

- **Jump by number:** ⌃⌥1 to ⌃⌥8 jump to a column, and ⌃⌥9 to the last one.
- **Drag to reorder:** Drag a column in the overview and the strip follows.
- **On demand:** Keep it on screen with ⌃⌥O, or let it show briefly whenever the focus moves.

**Scrolling Windows is optional.** It stays off until you turn it on. While it's on, window snapping and automatic window snapshots pause, and restoring a workspace turns it off; the strip saves its own session instead.
