Home

Home is the main workspace. It combines a request sidebar, an editor area, request sending, search, and inline response inspection.

What you do here

• browse collections, folders, and requests
• open a request for editing
• send requests
• inspect response body and headers
• search the request tree
• rename, move, copy, import, and export

Most common keys

• j / k: move through the sidebar
• e: open the selected request, or expand/collapse a collection or folder
• h / l: cycle between opened requests
• s: search from Home
• :: open command mode
• Esc: back out or collapse the current context
