Keys and commands

Everything here is also on ? (:help) inside the app, which draws the same lists. Keys act on whatever has focus: the row under the cursor in the list, or the document in the focused tile. Inside the editor the full vim keymap is live, and : opens the command line, where Tab completes commands and their arguments and ↑ / ↓ recall earlier lines.

gt / gT	next / previous tile — a view too

gf / gx	in the editor: follow the link under the cursor / open it in a tab

Enter · l	open a document, or enter a folder — on an open keystore or sealed file, Enter asks for its password

i · a	edit the open document
R	rename what is under the cursor — document, folder or card — starting from its name

gh	the open document's earlier versions, as diffs — Enter brings one back
gb	the documents that link to the open one — title links by title, [[ completes one while writing
