Thanks for the feedback. Some answers:

- You can press `enter` instead of typing "default" in full if it's selected. - Running `vi-normal-mode` enables VI bindings in the current buffer only. If you want to enable them everywhere, you can use the graphical confiuration menu that's presented on startup.

- `tab` inserts the current selection in the input. Do you mean something else?

Thanks for responding! That wasn't my experience with using enter, but i just tried it and it works, so I'm pretty sure that was just me :) the command being relegated to buffers is useful to know.

In emacs (specifically ivy/helm), tab in context-sensitive. Using tab on a command input autocompletes that input, where elsewhere it behaves differently. There doesn't actually seem to be a nice way to select from the command lists given (like the session selector) without typing it in, and that means I have to type it in in full, which is awkward and cumbersome.

One final note is I just tried using it again -- first problem is duckduckgo.com does not load, I just get a blank page after it says "finished loading". The other is that the default key of 'd', I had assumed would close the buffer, but I guess that must be 'x' because it closed the entire window, which I would have expected from 'q'.

The prompt buffer (previously known as "minibuffer") supports fuzzy completion: you never have to type the suggestion in full. Just type a portion of what you want and the appropriate suggestion should come to the top. Even typos are supported.

If duckduckgo does not load, maybe you enable noscript-mode, proxy-mode or similar? Try starting the browser with `nyxt -I` (no config file). Do other HTTPS site work?

`d` is not bound by default.
