# Tabs & history

Move between tabs and browser history without reaching for chrome buttons.

## Use it

1. Press <kbd>Q</kbd> / <kbd>W</kbd> to move to the previous / next tab.
2. Press <kbd>T</kbd> for a new tab; <kbd>A</kbd> to close the current tab.
3. Press <kbd>D</kbd> or <kbd>S</kbd> to go back; <kbd>R</kbd> to go forward.
4. Press <kbd>1</kbd> to jump to the current site’s root (scheme + host).
5. Press <kbd>J</kbd> for **Tab History** — a branch-aware history strip for this tab (see *Tab History*).

## Reference

### Default keys (Browsing, right-handed)

| Key | Action |
| --- | --- |
| <kbd>Q</kbd> | Previous tab |
| <kbd>W</kbd> | Next tab |
| <kbd>T</kbd> | New tab |
| <kbd>A</kbd> | Close tab |
| <kbd>D</kbd> / <kbd>S</kbd> | Back |
| <kbd>R</kbd> | Forward |
| <kbd>1</kbd> | Site root |
| <kbd>J</kbd> | Tab History popover |

### Tips

- Back/forward follow normal browser history for the tab.
- Tab History keeps alternate branches when you navigate away from a fork — useful after exploring multiple paths from the same page.
- Left-handed Browsing mirrors these clusters onto the right side of the keyboard.
