here's the tea — every key and the function it's wired up to. no cap, these are exact:

• up — select_previous
• down — select_next
• right — select_next_col
• left — select_previous_col
• page_up — page_up
• page_down — page_down
• return — accept_line
• ^C — return_empty_string
• escape — switch_mode
• / — fb_mini_buffer

lowkey the space → toggle_mark and . → toggle_hide_hidden combo is iconic. mark your faves, hide the hidden stuff, slay 🍓
