- To switch between tabs, use J (next tab) and K (previous tab), or press , where num is the position of the tab to switch to

- Press: to show the command line
- To search on a page, press /, type the phrase to search for, then press Enter. Use n and N to go back and forth through the matches, and press Esc to stop searching.
