There are a few features Bear has that would be good for Lettera to adopt:

1. ⌘+O to search for and navigate to particular file
2. ⌘+[and ⌘+] navigation to previous and next pages
3. ⌘+shift+F to search across all files

Currently,

1. When the sidebar is **in focus** , we can use the arrow keys to select/collapse folders and files
2. When the sidebar is in focus and a file is selected, it’s not obvious how we can start editing the file with just the keyboard. We’ll have to press ⌘+return to do so
3. When the editor is in focus, it’s not obvious how we can select another file with just the keyboard. We’ll have to press ⌘+return to do so
