-====== Launcher Actions ====== +====== Automate Total Launcher: How to Configure Internal Launcher Actions ======
-Launcher Actions are internal commands provided by Total Launcher to perform system tasks, control the user interface, or navigate the page structure without relying on external applications. These actions can be assigned to gestures, buttons, or any interactive object within the setup.+
  
-===== Introduction to Launcher Actions ===== +Launcher Actions function as the internal command center for Total Launcher, enabling users to perform system tasks, control the user interface, and navigate page structures without relying on external applications. Selecting a specific action executes targeted functions, from opening system panels to toggling hardware radios. When added as a graphic object, a text label automatically appears to describe the designated function. This visual text permits complete customization, or the command can be attached directly to a shortcut area or to an invisible area to establish hidden gesture controls across the layout.
