    Keyboard and chords

    A chord is a key combination bound to a command, written mod+k. mod is Cmd on macOS and Ctrl elsewhere, so one binding fits both.

    Nothing here is chord-only: the action bar lists every action with its chord, and the title-bar and status-bar controls dispatch those same commands.

    mod+k
    Action bar - run any action.
    mod+\
    Split the focused pane in the default direction.
    mod+shift+\
    Toggle the default split direction.
    mod+w
    Close the focused pane, or the tab once it is the last one.
    mod+alt+← / →
    Previous / next tab.
    alt+h j k l
    Move focus between panes.
    alt+shift+h j k l
    Move the focused pane itself in that direction.
    alt+a
    Focus the pane this one was split from.

    Rebind any of them under Settings > Keybindings: Record a new chord, Clear to disable one, or revert to the default.

    Where your data goes

    Nowhere. The console is a static page: it talks only to a daemon on 127.0.0.1, in your browser, and there is no server to send anything to. The address is checked against loopback before any request - a hostname is refused outright.

    Without a daemon it reads only what rides in the link you opened: a run's output or a graph travels in the URL's fragment, which a browser never sends to a server. Nothing is uploaded, and nothing is stored beyond this browser.

    Tabs and panes

    Each app opens as a tab. Opening one you already have focuses its tab instead of a second copy - every surface is single-instance.

    A tab splits into panes. A split divides the focused pane in the persisted default direction (side by side, or stacked); the direction can be toggled or picked explicitly. Tap or click a pane to focus it; drag the divider to re-weight the split. A pane can also be moved into a neighboring slot without losing its place.

    The Panes button in the status bar drives all of it without a keyboard.

    To leave this window, right-click a tab and choose Move to new window. That is the only route to a separate OS window - opening an app never takes you out of the one you are in.
