Q2:
The hotkey help page says that ALT+O will do it, but this doesn't seem to work anymore, at least for me.  I'm pretty sure there is a hotkey for it -- anyone know it?

it will open the options.

I was curious about this too...  /FacePalm
Of course! It's logically a Search option for FARR.
I'm embarrassed that I hadn't read/recalled that from the Help file.    :-[

I have set a FARR hotkey combo (Ctrl+Alt+O) to put that string ("gooptions") into the FARR Search bar.
Restart FARR. It works a treat.
So Q2 is sorted for me as well as @fishing. Thanks.    :Thmbsup:
