# Click-through mode

> Make the copilot window non-interactive to interact with apps behind it

## What is Click-Through Mode?

Click-Through Mode makes the Verve AI copilot window non-interactive, allowing your mouse clicks and keyboard input to pass through to applications behind it. The copilot remains visible on your screen as a reference overlay while you work with other tools underneath.

<Tip>
  **Desktop App only** - Click-Through Mode requires the [Desktop App](/features/desktop-app). Not available in Browser or Mobile versions.
</Tip>

## How Click-Through Mode Works

When Click-Through Mode is **enabled**:

* The copilot window becomes non-interactive
* Your clicks pass through to applications behind it
* You can type, click, and interact with apps underneath
* The copilot remains visible as a reference overlay
* You can still see copilot suggestions in real-time

When Click-Through Mode is **disabled** (default):

* The copilot window is interactive
* You can click, scroll, and interact with the copilot normally
* The copilot window blocks interaction with apps behind it

## How to Enable Click-Through Mode

### Using the Hotkey

Press <kbd>Cmd</kbd> + <kbd>Shift</kbd> + <kbd>P</kbd> on Mac or <kbd>Ctrl</kbd> + <kbd>Shift</kbd> + <kbd>P</kbd> on Windows to toggle Click-Through Mode on/off.

<Tip>
  The hotkey works instantly - no need to navigate menus or restart your session.

## Best Practices

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="Combine with Transparent Overlay">
    Use Click-Through Mode together with [Window Transparency](/guides/adjust-window-transparency) to create a subtle, see-through reference overlay that doesn't interfere with your workflow.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Position strategically">
    Place the copilot window in a corner or side of your screen where it's visible but doesn't cover critical UI elements of your interview platform.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Toggle as needed">
    Use <kbd>Cmd</kbd> + <kbd>Shift</kbd> + <kbd>P</kbd> (Mac) or <kbd>Ctrl</kbd> + <kbd>Shift</kbd> + <kbd>P</kbd> (Windows) to quickly switch between interactive and click-through modes based on whether you need to interact with the copilot or your other applications.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Practice the hotkey">
    Get comfortable with the toggle hotkey before your interview so you can switch modes seamlessly during live sessions.
