Vim-style navigation

Current uses j and k for navigation, familiar to anyone who has used Vim, less, or other keyboard-driven tools. Arrow keys work too.

Discoverability

iPad

Hold the key to see an overlay of all available shortcuts.

macOS

Press ⌘⇧/ to show the keyboard help overlay. Shortcuts are also visible in the menu bar.

Platform availability

Navigation shortcuts (j/k, s, r) work on both iPad with an external keyboard and macOS. Menu shortcuts (⌘T, ⌘K) are macOS only. iPhone has limited keyboard support when connected to a Bluetooth keyboard.
