You can swithc between a dark and light theme both based on the nord color palette. The theme switch is in the footer witch by defaut is hidden. You can show the footer by scrolling down, than simply click on themify.
You are also free to fork or clone this repo and set your own color palette, i've organized the css to make this as easy as possible.

- in insert mode you have focus on the search bar
- pressing enter in insert mode will search the typed string
-

- you can enter this mode by pressing Esc
- in this mode you can moove in the matrix of links using h,j,k,l
- pressing enter in vim mode will click the selected link
