One thing I really enjoy is keeping my overall UI to a bare minimum - just the information I actually need.\r\n\r\nWhat I need from kbfs is my shortcut in the Finder favourites bar and a notification when something is incoming or was sent. The rest I can access by creating or deleting folders in Finder or via terminal.\r\n\r\nNot everyone wants that flow, and that's fine. All I am asking for is an option to choose this flow for myself.\r\n\r\nThis is from Dash' UI preferences:\r\n<img width=\"231\" alt=\"screen shot 2016-12-08 at 09 21 10\" src=\"https://cloud.githubusercontent.com/assets/102513/21002755/b1ae57da-bd27-11e6-8d08-61d0963b9da0.png\">\r\n\r\nI am pretty sure that the default values for both of these toggles is on. However the options were provided, allowing me to only see Dash UI when I need it - either via global shortcut or by re-launching the app (which just brings up the window of the already running instance).\r\n\r\nIIRC the first time I saw this pattern was ten years ago in Quicksilver. Since then I have seen and used it in heaps of similar service apps.\r\n\r\nI understand your reasoning behind https://github.com/keybase/client/issues/3606 and recognise the nerd-cred value in having a witty remark rather than actual settings in your settings panel. That said, at the end of the day surely you must realise the strength of a solution which allows for its users to, in an existing well-used pattern, choose their own flow rather than having it chosen for them as Google and Evernote Corp would?\r\n\r\nKeybase GUI Version: 1.0.18-20161116190722+95f8303"},"comment":{"url":"https://api.github.com/repos/keybase/client/issues/comments/266185737","html_url":"https://github.com/keybase/client/issues/5039#issuecomment-266185737","issue_url":"https://api.github.com/repos/keybase/client/issues/5039","id":266185737,"user":{"login":"AngryAnt","id":102513,"avatar_url":"https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/102513?v=3","gravatar_id":"","url":"https://api.github.com/users/AngryAnt","html_url":"https://github.com/AngryAnt","followers_url":"https://api.github.com/users/AngryAnt/followers","following_url":"https://api.github.com/users/AngryAnt/following{/other_user}","gists_url":"https://api.github.com/users/AngryAnt/gists{/gist_id}","starred_url":"https://api.github.com/users/AngryAnt/starred{/owner}{/repo}","subscriptions_url":"https://api.github.com/users/AngryAnt/subscriptions","organizations_url":"https://api.github.com/users/AngryAnt/orgs","repos_url":"https://api.github.com/users/AngryAnt/repos","events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/AngryAnt/events{/privacy}","received_events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/AngryAnt/received_events","type":"User","site_admin":false},"created_at":"2016-12-10T07:32:38Z","updated_at":"2016-12-10T07:32:38Z","body":"Ah, interesting.
