Press `?` at any time in normal mode to see the full keybinding reference as a centered popup. The help overlay only handles the dismissal keys — your selection and scroll position are preserved underneath.
The selected card's border color mirrors the current operation mode:
- **Default (Muted)** — browsing the list (unselected).
- **Cyan** — browsing the list (selected).
- **Yellow** — typing into the input field during add/edit; the selected card's border turns yellow so you can see exactly which item will be replaced.
- **Red** — awaiting delete confirmation; the doomed card's border turns red.
The selected item is marked with a left-edge `▌` accent, a colored border, and bold text. In `ADDING` and `EDITING` modes the real terminal cursor sits at the end of your input so you can see exactly where the next character will land.
### Repository Settings Popup controls:
When viewing the Repository Settings popup (entered via `s` on the repository Overview page):
- `↑` / `↓` / `j` / `k` — Navigate settings rows.
- `Enter` / `Space` — Toggle/Edit the selected setting:
* For editable fields (Page Size, Max Commits, Editor Command, User Note, Git LFS Track): starts/enters editing mode (type and press `Enter` to confirm, `Esc` to cancel).
* For action fields (Git LFS Pull, LFS Storage Size): triggers the pull background job or refreshes the storage size.
- `←` / `→` / `h` / `l` — Cycle options (Theme, Resync on Tab Change).
