Help

Current piespector builds expose help through Textual’s help panel and the footer hints, not through an app-specific :help command.

What it shows

The help panel is widget-focused. It shows:

• help for the currently focused widget
• the active keybindings for the current screen
• system and app bindings merged into one place

Separately, the footer continues to show context-aware shortcut hints while you work.

How to use it

• press Ctrl+P
• run the system Help command
• run Help again to hide the panel

The command palette is also where you access piespector page commands such as rename, mv, import, export, or replay.

About older docs

If you used earlier builds or earlier docs, references to :help, :?, or an app-specific Help page are outdated.

The current interaction model is:

• Ctrl+P for commands and system actions
• / for search
• footer hints for current shortcuts
• the system Help command for focused-widget help
