The Quick panel is a radial menu in the Nintendo Switch version of the game. It replaces the quickbar, shortcut bar and buttons above the minimap from the PC version.

It is open when while holding L (left bumper). The different tabs of the quick panel can be selected by pressing Right and Left on the D-pad.

Individual buttons in the quick panel are selected by moving the Left Stick in the direction of the button and then letting go of L. This does not work when using the free cursor mode, in that case the cursor has to be manually moved to the location of the button. It is not necessary to press the buttons with A, however it can be used to invoke an action additional times, e.g. triggering Undo multiple times without closing and reopening the GUI.

Initial availability of buttons

The 'ALT mode' button is always available. The other buttons are unavailable until the player has researched Construction robotics in any game. When this research has been completed the other buttons will appear in that and all future games.

Alternatively the player can enable the full set of buttons at any time by opening the console with ZL + ZR  + - and using the following command:

/unlock-shortcut-bar

Using this command will not disable achievements.
