Keyboard Commands

Introduction

You use retawq by entering keyboard commands. Most commands consist of a single key; some commands require additional input, e.g. a URL you want to browse to or an explicit confirmation for a possibly "dangerous" command. Most keys have been chosen so that you can remember them easily; e.g. "n" for "new window", "h" for "home URL" and "l" for "scroll down one line".

The Escape key can be used to cancel several operations, e.g. all commands which require additional input and all menus.

It is a known problem that certain special keys like "Home" or "Page Up" don't work on all kinds of terminals. This seems to be related to errors in terminal description files (in the computer's "terminfo" database) or to a wrong value in the environment variable "TERM".
