Navigation, buffers, and panes
Every view you open is kept in a buffer history, and form views can be split into panes. This page explains the page model and the buffer/panes keybindings.
Each page is one screen with its own focus model:
| Page | Purpose |
|---|---|
| Intro | Landing screen with Continue, Admin, Authentication, Documents |
| Authentication | Login, register, change password, reset password |
| Login / Register | Account forms |
| Change / Reset password | Password forms |
| Admin | Profile/table/column management for structural roles |
| Non-admin | Profile selection and print entry for data roles |
| Form | Table data entry |
| Add table / Add logic / Add validation | Admin editors |
| Import / Export | CSV import and export |
| Print / Documents | Templates, preview, and the document archive |
Navigation between pages happens through buttons, the find-file palette, or the picker.
Buffers
Section titled “Buffers”Every view you open becomes a buffer. The default bindings are:
| Action | Binding |
|---|---|
| Next buffer | Space b n |
| Previous buffer | Space b p |
| Close buffer | Space b d |
| Revert buffer | Space b r |
| Toggle buffer list | Ctrl+B |
Closing the last buffer returns you to a fresh Intro buffer. A buffer with unsaved changes asks before it is discarded.
Form buffers can be split into panes so you can look at two records side by side. Other page types currently render in a single pane.
| Action | Binding |
|---|---|
| Split vertically | Space w v |
| Split horizontally | Space w s |
| Close pane | Space w d |
| Focus next pane | Space w n |
| Focus previous pane | Space w p |
Attempting to split a non-form page reports that splits are only available for form buffers.
Find-file palette
Section titled “Find-file palette”The find-file palette navigates directly to a table by its profile/table
path; see Find-file palette.
