#Manual

Since this is designed to be used principally on a handheld devices without a window manager, the controls are aimed at d-pad centric. The pattern here is using the B button to handle all window operations, and leave the A button to the applications. Alternatively, you can open a file with mouse2.

  • B+Up, expand a window
  • B+Down, tab a window
  • B+Right, open a window
  • B+Left, close a window
