Every entry opens a connection to Khmer culture.
- Touch
- Tap an entry to select it. Drag to move the view. Pinch to zoom; move two fingers together to pan.
- Hover
- Preview an entry in the side card. Move away to return to your selected entry.
- Click
- Focus an entry and illuminate its connections.
- Double-click
- On your focused entry, follow Next. Jumps between groups are not claimed relationships.
- Next
- After Back, Next first returns through the entries you stepped back from. Then it follows unvisited connections, moves past dead ends and discovers another connected group.
- Deselect
- Tap or click empty space to clear selection. On a phone, you can also close the card.
- Trails
- A trail is a short route through entries on one theme, with a sentence at each stop. Choosing a stop enters its trail: the card shows the stop number, the map draws the route, and Next goes to the next stop. At the stop where you joined, Back offers a choice between where you were before and the previous stop. Search a trail’s name or theme to find it. Hovering an entry on a trail shows which trail it would enter. A first visit’s introduction shows three trails and lands on the third.
- Move
- Drag (left or right button) to turn, Shift-drag or the arrow keys to pan, scroll to zoom.
- Follow
- Use Back to retrace your exploration; Next then steps forward through those visits before it moves on. “More details” opens the wiki page in this tab; use your browser’s Back button to return.
- Direct links
- A link to a specific entry takes you straight there and skips automatic introductions for this browser session.
- ← →
- Left goes back in history. Right does what Next does.
- ↑ ↓
- Raise or lower the viewing angle around the focused entry. No effect in the unfocused overview.
- /
- Focus search and select its existing text. Shortcuts do not override typing, search navigation, form controls, or the open guide.
Each entry is drawn as a Khmer object for its section: a vihara for a wat, a palm-leaf manuscript for a book, a roneat for music. Nearby entries share a section or subject, not a documented connection. Size reflects the amount of page content, not importance.
