Search shortcuts
Enable search, then use Ctrl+K
on Windows/Linux or Cmd+K on macOS to focus the header field.
| Key | Action |
|---|---|
ArrowDown | Select the next result. |
ArrowUp | Select the previous result. |
Enter | Open the selected result. |
Escape | Close results; press again to clear the query and leave search. |
Result links also work with the mouse. On small screens the shortcut hint is hidden.
Search states
An empty focused field prompts for a query. A completed query with no matches shows the no-results message. A missing or unusable library/index shows the unavailable message.
These messages use the active interface catalog:
search_start, search_no_results and search_unavailable.
Color modes
The header button cycles through system → light → dark → system.
| Mode | Behavior |
|---|---|
system | Follows the device's prefers-color-scheme. |
light | Uses the light palette. |
dark | Uses the dark palette. |
A saved browser preference takes priority over the configured default. Appearance settings control the initial mode and button visibility. Brand and colors explains palette overrides.
Header separator
On the homepage, Blog and Downloads layouts, the line below the header appears after scrolling and disappears when you return to the top. Docs, Reader and ordinary content pages keep the line visible from the start. With JavaScript disabled, the line stays visible on every page.
Reduced motion
With prefers-reduced-motion: reduce, navigation animations and the drawer's
sliding transition are disabled.
