Just something I got used to do. My right palm is always conveniently hovering above the right Ctrl, Alt and L, Enter keys, making those combos easy and instant.

After hitting Ctrl+L, I usually do one of these: 1) "Enter" to discard current page; 2) "Alt+Enter" to open in new tab; 3) "Ctrl+Enter" to open in new tab but keep focus on current page (e.g. read later); and 4) "Esc" if I got an answer from the address bar (math, currency, history, already open page, etc).

Looks nice, I wish you best of luck! I personally haven't seen my "new tab" page in a very long time. What I'm doing instead: in current tab hit Cmd+L to focus on address bar, type query/address hit Option+Enter to open resulted page in a new tab. Skipping a bunch of clicks and the "new tab" page. Should be Ctrl+L Alt+Enter on Windows.

Why read only? What's stopping this engine from using (for example) FoundationDB as storage?

Congrats, looks like a lot of hard work!

Could I swap storage engine with own key value storage e.g. rocksdb or similar?

The article makes some hard to digest claims, for example:

> According to six Israeli intelligence officers

Not 1 reservist, or 2 retired officers, or 3 contractors, but 6 active serviceman - whose day to day job is to figure out how to hide secrets.

There are more statistically impossible statements.

Your (honestly) very nice homepage made me almost book a visit to ophthalmologist, eye floaters galore!

Congrats! Many moons ago the lack of undo/redo was the main blocker. Has this been added?

I share the frustration! I have to open lots of small and large CSV files daily, with multiple encodings. Usually I'm juggling between Excel, Numbers, and Sublime text editor - depending on which one would open that file faster.

Naturally, I installed Modern CSV seconds after seeing this post.

I'm on MacBook M2, using trackpad 1) the vertical scroll is slow and un-mac-like, unnatural; and 2) horizontal scroll basically doesn't work, it scrolls a column or a half on a full swipe, but it does improve somewhat when there's less content in the cells.

I admire your work, please keep on going, there's a huge need!
