Keyboard and gestures
Every shortcut and mouse gesture in one table.
Pagenail has no browser-level keyboard shortcut — there’s no key combination that opens it from anywhere. Everything below works inside a Pagenail surface.
Keyboard
| Key | Where | What it does |
|---|---|---|
| Enter | Note panel input | Saves — to the thread or as a sticky, per the ↵ setting |
| Shift + Enter | Note panel input | Line break, no save |
| Esc | Any note editor | Saves and exits the note |
| ⌘/Ctrl + K | Dashboard | Focuses search |
| Esc | Dashboard search | Clears the search |
| Esc | Dashboard modal or settings | Closes it |
Mouse
| Gesture | What it does |
|---|---|
| Drag the dock’s grip | Moves the dock; snaps to the nearest edge on release |
| Drag the note panel header | Moves the dock and panel together |
| Drag a sticky’s body | Moves it |
| Drag a sticky’s bottom-right corner | Resizes it |
| Click a sticky’s amber dot | Collapses it to the dot |
| Drag a collapsed dot | Moves the collapsed sticky |
| Click a sticky | Brings it in front of other notes |
| Select text (on eligible pages) | Offers Add note to anchor a sticky |
| Hover an edge marker | Peeks at a note that doesn’t fit the window |
| Click an edge marker | Keeps the peek open |
Confirmation patterns
Deleting asks first, in one of two ways. Thread notes and dashboard rows show an inline Sure? that gives up on its own after three seconds. Stickies and the dashboard’s destructive actions use an explicit Confirm/Cancel pair.
The exception is emptying a note: clearing all the text in a sticky or global note and clicking away deletes it without asking. See Writing notes.
