Select an element
Select with a click or Enter, move through the tree by key, and reach covered elements.
Click an element, or press Enter while hovering it. The selection gets a blue outline and fills the side panel, and each of its four edges runs across the window as a dashed grey line, so what lines up with it shows at a glance. Clicks are kept from the page while Nitpique is on; right-click still opens the browser's menu.
Move around the tree
Move the selection without the pointer, with the keys below or the Parent and Child buttons on the bar.
| Keys | Moves the selection to |
|---|---|
| Alt⌥+Shift⇧+↑ | The parent |
| Alt⌥+Shift⇧+↓ | The first child |
| Alt⌥+Shift⇧+← | The previous sibling |
| Alt⌥+Shift⇧+→ | The next sibling |
When elements are stacked under the cursor, [ and ] step through them, so you can reach one that is covered. To see why something covers another, see Warnings.
