Ratings and reviews

I LOVE this!!! I wish we could script it's commands more to directly access the features of installed apps, like typing "n.note" or "n" to quickly make a new note in an installed note editor, or so on. Buttons for these features are often made available in the notification shortcut panel. The widget feature is still experimental. It would be good if it could be polished. i noticed that I cannot scroll otherwise scrollable widgets. It would also be good to be able to set the width. Thank you!!
