Reading
=======

The reader interface may be accessed by clicking on any comic page. The reader
overlay will then open with the selected page in view. There are two metadata
settings that affect the reader, **Direction** and **Layout**. The former
adjusts reading direction and the latter determines how many pages are rendered
at once.

Navigation
----------

The reader is controlled with the mouse or the keyboard. When displaying a
single page, clicking on the left side of the image will advance left, whilst
clicking on the right side of the image will advance right. Similarly, when
displaying two pages, clicking on the left image will advance left while
clicking on the right image will advance right.

Additionally, the following keyboard shortcuts are available:

+-------------+----------------------------------------------------+
| Key         | Action                                             |
+=============+====================================================+
| Left Arrow  | Advance left.                                      |
+-------------+----------------------------------------------------+
| Right Arrow | Advance right.                                     |
+-------------+----------------------------------------------------+
| Down Arrow  | Advance to the next page in reading direction.     |
+-------------+                                                    |
| Page Down   |                                                    |
+-------------+                                                    |
| Space       |                                                    |
+-------------+----------------------------------------------------+
| Up Arrow    | Advance to the previous page in reading direction. |
+-------------+                                                    |
| Page Up     |                                                    |
+-------------+                                                    |
| Backspace   |                                                    |
+-------------+----------------------------------------------------+
| Home        | Go to first page.                                  |
+-------------+----------------------------------------------------+
| End         | Go to last page.                                   |
+-------------+----------------------------------------------------+

Editing when reading
--------------------

A comic may be edited in the reader interface by opening the edit menu in the
top left corner or hitting ``z``. Changes to **Direction** and **Layout** will
be visible in the reader right away, but will only persist if saved. This makes
it easy to preview changes.

Pending changes will not be lost when closing the reader interface - they can
still be modified and saved in the normal *Edit* tab.
