Questions people ask
Why doesn't a shortcut work?
Shortcuts are switched off while you're typing in a box, so click on an empty part of the page first. They also don't fire if you hold Ctrl, Cmd or Alt, so they never clash with your browser's own shortcuts.
Do shortcuts work on a phone or tablet?
Only with a keyboard attached. On touch screens, use the buttons under the clock or timer; they do the same thing.
How do I leave full screen?
Press F again or Esc.
