Command mode

Command mode, i.e, "the console", is used for accessing less frequently used commands, such as:

• tabdetach to detach the current tab into a new window
• bind [key] [excommand] to bind keys
• viewsource to view the current page's source
• viewconfig nmaps to view the current normal mode bindings
• help [command] to access help on a command
• help [key] to access help on an existing binding
• composite [command 1]; [command 2]; [command 3]... lets you execute commands sequentially, useful for binding. If you want the results of each command to be piped to the other, use pipes | instead of semi-colons.

We support a handful of keybinds in the console:

• Up/Down to search in command history: e.g. :tabopen Up will show you the most recent tabopen command.
• Tab/Shift-Tab cycle completion, enter to select
• Ctrl-F to complete the command from command history
• Space to insert the URL of the highlighted completion into the command line
• Shift-Delete to close the highlighted completion on :tab and :taball completions
• Ctrl-Enter to execute the highlighted completion and keep the command line open
• <C-o>yy to copy the highlighted completion to your clipboard

The next page will talk about the various settings available.
