# Navigation

Press `?` on any view to see its keybindings. The most important shortcuts are always displayed in the footer bar. Press `Esc` to close the keybindings panel. These shortcuts work on every view:

| Key     | Action                    |
|---------|---------------------------|
| `Space` | Toggle play / stop        |
| `q`     | Quit                      |
| `s`     | Save project              |
| `l`     | Load project              |
| `?`     | Show keybindings for view |

## Views

Cagire's interface is organized as a 3x2 grid of six views. Jump to any view with its F-key or `Ctrl+Arrow` keys:

```
F1 Dict       F2 Patterns     F3 Options
F4 Help       F5 Sequencer    F6 Engine
```

| Key  | View       | Description |
|------|------------|-------------|
| `F1` | Dict       | Forth dictionary — learn about the language |
| `F2` | Patterns   | Manage your current session / project |
| `F3` | Options    | Configuration settings for the application |
| `F4` | Help       | Help and tutorials — learn about the tool |
| `F5` | Sequencer  | The main view, where you edit sequences and play music |
| `F6` | Engine     | Configuration settings for the audio engine |

Use `Ctrl+Arrow` keys to move between adjacent views. A minimap will briefly appear to show your position in the grid. You can also click on the view name at the bottom left or in the top left corner of the header bar to open the switch view panel.

- `Ctrl+Left` / `Ctrl+Right` — move horizontally (wraps around)
- `Ctrl+Up` / `Ctrl+Down` — move vertically (does not wrap)

## Secrets

There is a hidden seventh view: the **Periodic Script**. Press `F11` to open it. The periodic script is a free-running Forth script evaluated at every step, independent of any pattern. It is useful for drones, global effects, control logic, and experimentation. See the **Periodic Script** tutorial for details.
