I've thought a lot about making a tool like this, and you've accomplished a lot of what I had in mind. It looks awesome!

One piece of feedback that would make or break this tool for me: I would love to see better keyboard interactions. In my ideal version of this, quick search would pull up on some keybind, and then once I search for something, I would be able to use my arrow keys to scroll down the list of results without clicking.

For me this is basically getting at what I think is _the_ killer feature for an app like this: super-efficient navigation/search. Mouse interactions are simply too slow for me to incorporate them into live DMing.

This is great feedback! I've been considering adding power-user keyboard navigation like you're describing, as I too would love to have these sorts of interactions.

I'd love to know what other sorts of keyboard interactions you would like to see. I will look into this and keep you posted!

A version using vi bindings would be amazing.

I actually think that being able to operate the quicksearch with just a keyboard would be most of what I would want!

In addition, I think being able to set up some sort of quick jump-to-page system where you can tag pages that you use a lot and jump to them with one key press/combo would be amazing.
