Hook version 1.3 (2888) is now available: Minimalist UI, Link Navigation and More

I am wondering why Control-T is used for opening the sub-menu

Hook now has three main parts and menus:

@LucB

1. the title bar, which contains a Title menu (also accessible via ⌃T) containing all the commands that operate on the current context (title item),
2. the LINKS section (in the middle): each link has its own Link menu (also accessible via ⌃L), and
3. the status bar at the bottom, which now contains a simpler Gear menu (also accessible via ⌃G).

There are screenshots at the top of this topic..

We tried to make “onboarding” as easy as possible, so the menus are available via meaningfully and consistently named shortcuts:

1. ^T: Title menu (operates on the title bar item, the “context”),
2. ^L: Link menu (operates on currently selected link), and
3. ^G: Gear menu

there are many other keyboard shortcuts (see All Commands & Shortcuts – Hook, a web page that is accessible via ⌥⌘K (or via Gear > Help menu).

In particular, you can also use arrow keys within the navigation history. Here again, we used a consistent scheme that is aligned with related apps (e.g., Safari; and emacs bindings).
