Press ? at any time in normal mode to see the full keybinding reference as a centered popup. The help overlay only handles the dismissal keys — your selection and scroll position are preserved underneath.

The selected card's border color mirrors the current operation mode:

• Default (Muted) — browsing the list (unselected).
• Cyan — browsing the list (selected).
• Yellow — typing into the input field during add/edit; the selected card's border turns yellow so you can see exactly which item will be replaced.
• Red — awaiting delete confirmation; the doomed card's border turns red.

The selected item is marked with a left-edge ▌ accent, a colored border, and bold text. In ADDING and EDITING modes the real terminal cursor sits at the end of your input so you can see exactly where the next character will land.

Repository Settings Popup controls:

When viewing the Repository Settings popup (entered via s on the repository Overview page):

• ↑ / ↓ / j / k — Navigate settings rows.
• Enter / Space — Toggle/Edit the selected setting:
  • For editable fields (Page Size, Max Commits, Editor Command, User Note, Git LFS Track): starts/enters editing mode (type and press Enter to confirm, Esc to cancel).
  • For action fields (Git LFS Pull, LFS Storage Size): triggers the pull background job or refreshes the storage size.
• ← / → / h / l — Cycle options (Theme, Resync on Tab Change).
• Esc / q — Close repository settings popup and return to repository Detail view.
