Search, appearance, and keyboard shortcuts

Find anything with ⌘K, switch to dark mode, and move around without the mouse.

Press ⌘ K on a Mac or Ctrl K on Windows, or choose the magnifying glass at the top left.

With nothing typed, you’ll see your recent threads. Type to search chapters, parts, threads, entries, and groups in the workspace you’re in. Results are grouped by kind. Use ↑ and ↓ to move, Enter to open, and Esc to close.

Chapters are found by their title and text; threads and entries by their titles. Search only covers thinking you can read, and leaves out archived chapters and threads.

Appearance

Open the account menu and choose System, Light, or Dark under Appearance. System follows your computer’s setting. The choice is saved in this browser, so set it on each device you use.
