@emboo2 : I’d point out the following if I may. The point of documentation is not only to make things easy ; it is also to get people to buy the addon in the first place.
I’ve personally been aware of this addon for at least over a year, but I held off purchasing it until this week because I noticed that it had no documentation and the only support it came with was in the form of unnarrated and unedited 1x speed videos. These are usually the signs of badly developed products full of bugs and cryptic functionalities, and because of that I simply didn’t buy it for the longest time. If I cannot read about the way a product operates before buying it, I simply don’t buy it. I am sure I am not the only person like that 
Now of course the addon itself is not buggy, it is excellent overall and I am glad I finally found some free time to dedicate to it. But not everyone has the luxury to spend time clicking around at random (especially since the debug/listener mode which is at the core of the addon is not intuitively discoverable, and uses an admittedly clever but very unusual order of operations), and even less so the luxury to sit through unnarrated videos trying to decipher why a certain button is being clicked. For a paid product this is, in my opinion, not acceptable. The addon could be fully covered in just a few concise paragraphs that one could digest in about 5 minutes. But in its current state, not only does it take “patience”, it is also quite frustrating.
All that said, documentation is coming soon so no problem there, and am I fully comfortable with the addon myself now. But time is not a renewable resource.
Anyways - I am absolutely loving this tool I can finally work in full screen at all times without having to assign crazy hotkeys to my secondary actions, which are now all consolidated in one handy popup. In theory I could have built that popup before the traditional way (and I indeed started to) but this makes things so much easier. Fantastic tool.
