Commands

Commands are run from the command line (press :) or bound to keys. Many also accept a count. The command line offers fuzzy completion: Tab and Shift-Tab move the highlight, Space applies it, Enter runs it.

Navigation

Windows

Command	Description

open/tabopen accept a search term or a URL. A bare term goes to the default search engine; a leading engine keyword followed by a query selects that engine (for example tabopen gh ripgrep).
