<p>You can access the functions displayed in the HUD in 3 ways:</p>
<ul>
<li>Press the hotkey underneath the icon representing the function (e.g. in the above image, S would be Re-tweet)</li>
<li>Navigate across the HUD using the arrow keys, then press ENTER to select the function</li>
<li>Click the HUD icon using the mouse</li>
</ul>
<p>The following functions are available from the HUD per column type</p>
