# Navigation

Cagire's interface is organized as a 3x2 grid of six views:

```
Dict     Patterns     Options
Help     Sequencer    Engine
```

- *Dict* : Forth dictionary — learn about the language.
- *Help* : Help and tutorials — learn about the tool.
- *Patterns* : Manage your current session / project.
- *Sequencer* : The main view, where you edit sequences and play music.
- *Options* : Configuration settings for the application.
- *Engine* : Configuration settings for the audio engine.

## Switching Views

Use `Ctrl+Arrow` keys to move between 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 to open the switch view panel.

- `Ctrl+Left` / `Ctrl+Right` — move horizontally (wraps around)
- `Ctrl+Up` / `Ctrl+Down` — move vertically (does not wrap)
- `Click` at bottom left — select a view

You can also jump directly to any view with the F-keys:

| Key  | View       |
|------|------------|
| `F1` | Dict       |
| `F2` | Patterns   |
| `F3` | Options    |
| `F4` | Help       |
| `F5` | Sequencer  |
| `F6` | Engine     |

## Common Keys

These shortcuts work on every view:

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

## Getting Help

Press `?` on any view to see the associated keybindings. This shows all available shortcuts for the current context. The most important keybindings are displayed in the footer bar. Press `Esc` to close the keybindings panel.
