First steps

Ten minutes with the keys you will use all day.

Two modes

Lean works like Vim. In normal mode the keys are commands: j scrolls, x closes the tab. When you click into a text field, Lean switches to insert mode and the keys type text. Esc brings you back. The status line at the bottom shows the mode.

The Cmd shortcuts you know (Cmd+T, Cmd+L, Cmd+W, Cmd+F) work in both modes.

Open a page

Keys	What happens
`o`	open an address or a search in this tab
`O` or `t`	the same in a new tab
`p` `P`	open the address on the clipboard, here or in a new tab
`ge`	edit the current address

Text that is not an address is searched with DuckDuckGo. Change that with searchUrl in the configuration.

Move around

Keys	What happens
`j` `k`	scroll down, up
`d` `u`	half a page down, up
`gg` `G`	top, bottom
`H` `L`	back, forward
`f`	put a label on every link; type the label to follow it
`F`	the same, but the link opens in a new tab
`/`	find in the page; `n` `N` for the next and previous match

Tabs

Keys	What happens
`J` `K`	next, previous tab
`]` `[`	next, previous project
`T` or `Space`	search all open tabs
`x` `X`	close the tab, reopen the last closed one
`yy`	copy the address

Tabs live in the sidebar, sorted into groups. Out of the box there is one group; you get more by describing your projects.

Sign	Means
`●`	the tab is awake
`○`	the tab is asleep and reloads when you select it
`↻`	the page is loading
`✕`	the page does not respond; `gX` restarts it
