How to use this site: popups, reader mode, dark mode, search, and keyboard shortcuts

Quick reference for everything this site can do. The floating gear icon in the top-right corner opens the settings menu.

Basics

  • Dark mode: click the moon icon in the left toolbar. Your choice is remembered.
  • Reader mode: click the book icon in the left toolbar, or open the gear menu and pick auto / on / off.
  • Popups: hover any internal link to preview the target page in a floating window. Disable them from the gear menu, or from the eye-slash icon on any popup window.
  • Search: click the search box in the left toolbar, or press Ctrl+K.

Hovering an internal link opens the target in a small window. Windows persist until closed, so you can stack several previews side by side.

Title bar, left to right: close, maximize, minimize, pin, then the page title. The eye-slash icon at the far right of every window disables popups site-wide.

  • Drag: grab the title bar and move the window anywhere.
  • Resize: drag the bottom-right corner.
  • Maximize: click the maximize icon to fill the screen; hover it to reveal a 9-grid and snap the window to a half or quarter of the screen. Double-click the title bar for the same effect.
  • Minimize: collapses the window to a tab at the bottom edge of the screen. Click the tab to bring it back.
  • Pin: keeps the window marked as pinned so you know it matters; pinned windows stay put while you browse.
  • Esc: close the current window
  • a left half, s bottom half, w top half, d right half
  • q top-left, e top-right, x bottom-right, z bottom-left
  • f: fullscreen
  • r: restore the window to its previous size
  • t: minimize the current window; if everything is minimized, restore the most recent one
  • g / b: cycle forward / backward through open windows (Shift includes minimized ones)
  • c: pin or unpin the current window
  • p: toggle popups on or off (from a window’s eye-slash icon, or the gear menu)
  • Internal links render as popups on hover. External links open normally and are marked with .
  • Diagrams in preview windows render the same as in the article, including dark mode.
