TReq is heavily inspired in Vim, each key execute a command. However, a essential concept in TReq is the fact each KEY trigger a ACTION and each Action execute a command based on your current state.
For example, if you press TAB, it triggers the SWITCH action. In Body section it change between Header and Body view, but in Url section it change the method used in request.
You can see all the Action and Commands they execute in Help Screen, clicking ? in TReq.

| UP/k | Up |
| DOWN/j | Down |
| LEFT/h | Left |
| ? | Help |
| Enter | Submit |
| Tab | Switch |
| q | Quit |
| n | New |
| s | Save |
| State | Action | Command |
|---|---|---|
| Default | Help | Open help screen |
| Default | Submit | Make Request |

| Tab List | New | Create a empty request |
| URL | Switch | Change METHOD |

There is also importants additional commands. Those maps triggers actions to only run those commands globally. Therefore, you can say those keymaps trigger those commands directly.

| g g | Go to Tab List Section |

Each key trigger a action which trigger a command. Only to navigate throght content of some doc, help screen for example.
Normally when you trigger Edit action in Normal mode. A pop-up is open to insert some text. Enter submit what you typed, ESC close and cancel the edition.
Only to navigate throght content of some doc, help screen for example. Only triggered actions are Up and Down, ESC and q quit.
To edit simple text like Urls, names of tabs or variables values TReq uses a built-in editor. However, to edit the BODY of requests is required use external text editor.
