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.

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.
