- **Show Details**: Show more details(node, component, property)
- **Fold Result**: Fold result in one log

In the **Hotkey** option, you can choose a hotkey(shortcut, for finding references of current selected asset) in preset list, or you can customize one in **Custom** option by yourself.

One thing you should know, not every keys/keys-combinations can be used, because some keys/keys-combinations have been used by the system or Cocos Creator.
