gollark: It's a "wiki-style personal note-taking app" and also eternally unfinished.
gollark: Now all minoteaur needs is all other minoteaur features ever. I should find what those were again.
gollark: The upshot of this is that you can press "s", type a query, have relevant pages semifuzzily matched, and press "enter" to navigate to the one you want (assuming the one you want is also at the top). HIGHLY productive.
gollark: Also, when the search query box comes into existence it's focused using javascriptoids™, *and* when you press enter in it it goes to the first matching page you aren't already on.
gollark: ```javascriptdocument.body.addEventListener("keydown", e => { if (e.target === document.body) { // maybe use alt instead? or right shift or something - this just detects unfocused keypresses if (e.key === "e") { location.pathname = urlForPage(currentPage, "edit") } else if (e.key === "v") { location.pathname = urlForPage(currentPage) } else if (e.key === "r") { location.pathname = rlForPage(currentPage, "revisions") } else if (e.key === "s") { state.showingSearchDialog = !state.showingSearchDialog m.redraw() } }})```
