How to pick a capture mode with the quickslot wheel
One shortcut opens a wheel at your cursor; flick toward a mode to start it. Choose which items appear and in what order in Settings.
How do I open the quickslot wheel?
Press ⌘⇧⌥Q and the wheel opens where your cursor was at that moment. Hold the shortcut, flick toward a mode and let go to start it right away, or tap the shortcut so the wheel stays open and click an item. Press esc to close it without doing anything.

How do I remove items or change their order?
