Modes

Modes

Normal

In this mode all the defined [Keybindings] apply.

Insert

This mode is (by default) automatically entered when a HTML form element is activated and left when that element loses focus. Keys are now passed to the respective form field. Keybindings involving the control key are still handled by the browser, though.

Passthrough

This mode is activated manually by Ctrl-z and deactivated by Esc. All keystrokes are sent to the underlying engine, no keybindings apply anymore.

Send Key

This mode is activated by pressing Ctrl-v. It acts exactly like passthrough mode, but only for the next keystroke.

Hints

This is described in more detail under [Hinting].
