Besides the price panel, ePOE draws a handful of small floating widgets over the game. Each one opens from the Feature Bar, the Selection Wheel, or a hotkey. The widget hotkeys ship unbound — give the ones you use a key under Overlays → Hotkeys. Drag any widget by its title bar; it remembers where you put it.
The four widgets
Recent Price Checks lists your latest checks: item name, the price ePOE recorded, and how long ago. Click a row to reopen that search on the trade site — cheaper than re-checking, and it does not touch the rate limit. Clear empties the list.
Characters lists your Path of Exile 2 characters — name, class, level, league. Click one to see its equipped items. It needs your pathofexile.com session; if it is not connected, the widget offers Connect PoE account (the same connection as Settings → Connections → Live Session).
Stopwatch is a plain Start / Stop / Reset timer, shown as minutes and seconds (hours once it passes one). Use it for timing one thing, like a map or a boss attempt.
Notepad is a text box that saves automatically as you type. The right place for the price you agreed or the whisper you are about to send.
Each widget has its own switch under Overlays → Overlays. Turn off the ones you never use and they disappear from the bar and wheel as well.
The Feature Bar
The slim strip of icons pinned over the game's XP bar while Path of Exile 2 runs. Drag it to nudge it into place; its position is remembered.
Choose its buttons under Overlays → Overlays → Feature Bar → Buttons. Most tools are on by default; Crafting Simulator, Rune Scout, Service Board and Favourites start off. Twenty-odd icons is a lot — switch off what you do not use.
Launcher on the same pane decides how you reach your tools in game: Feature Bar, Selection Wheel or Both. The default is Feature Bar. On Selection Wheel the strip stays hidden, but its Buttons list still decides which tools the wheel offers.
Chat commands
Seven templates ship under Overlays → Overlays → Trade & Whisper: Invite (/invite {name}), Trade (/tradewith {name}), Thank, Kick, Hideout, Leave and Exit to character select. {name} is replaced with the character who whispered you most recently.
Two have hotkeys out of the box: Ctrl+Alt+1 invites your last whisperer and Ctrl+Alt+2 opens a trade with them. Give the others a key in the same row, edit any template, or Add command for your own.
Running one focuses the game, opens chat, pastes the line and sends it — one line per press, only when you ask. If the overlay is not attached to the game, the line is copied to your clipboard instead. Incoming trade whispers also appear as cards with Invite, Trade, Thank and Kick buttons that use these same templates.
Toggle Overlay
Ctrl+Alt+Q shows or hides the price-check panel. It is the quick way to clear the screen without closing anything.
Panic Hide
Unbound by default — bind it under Overlays → Hotkeys if you ever stream or share your screen. One press hides every ePOE window, including the Feature Bar, tool windows and the dashboard; the next press brings them all back.
If you would rather ePOE never showed up on stream at all, Settings → Privacy → Hide overlay from screen capture keeps the windows visible to you but out of OBS, ShadowPlay and Game Bar.
All hotkeys above are defaults and can be rebound under Overlays → Hotkeys.
