 ## What it can do
 
 - ✔️ Switch thermal mode between G-mode, Balanced and Custom
 - ✔️ Shows GPU/CPU temperature and fan speed
 - ✔️ Semi-manual fan speed control
 - ✔️ An option to automatically enable G-mode when GPU/CPU temperature reaches critical
+- ✔️ Support for keyboard G-mode hotkey
 
 ## Limitations

-- ✔️ Minimize to tray (10x ⭐)
-- ✔️ Save settings between restarts (20x ⭐)
-- ✔️ Autorun on system startup option (30x ⭐)
-- ✔️ Adjustable fail-safe threshold temperature, drop out of fail-safe mode after the temperature returns to normal (40x ⭐)
-- ✔️ Patch for G15 5511 / 5525
-- ✔️ Proper Windows installer (50x ⭐)
