Enter on a picture shows it: shrunk to fit the screen, or at its own size
with Enter again and the arrows to move. Dithered to the screen's 256
colours; a colour the screen has exactly is left alone, so screenshots are
shown as they are.
The picture is decoded once, straight into the screen's buffer, and kept
there (App::retainsContent): no copy in memory. Decoding runs on the
storage task, so the keys keep working and a 12 megapixel photograph
appears as it comes instead of tripping the watchdog.
PNG, BMP and GIF are read by decoders of our own, host-tested against files
made by Pillow; the PNG one needs 32 KB where the display library's needed
44 KB in one block, which the device often doesn't have. JPEG uses the
library's TJpgDec.
Also corrects two sentences that still gave 16 KB as the editing limit.

The editor held the whole note in memory and stopped at 16 KB. It now keeps
a window of the file around the cursor, and the rest on the card as a list
of pieces (notes::NoteDocument). Memory with a note open is what it was.
Up to 64 KB a save rewrites the file, as before. Above, the five-second
save appends what changed to <note>.edit, and the file is rewritten on
leaving the note, with a progress bar. After a power cut, opening the note
picks the edit up where it was saved; a rewrite cut short is finished or
dropped, never half applied.
Also: Ctrl with Fn+Up/Down go to the start and end of the note; the
consoles' `key` command takes ctrl-, alt- and shift-; the Storage App's
`e` no longer refuses a big file.

Tab used to complete a command's first word only. It now follows the help
text word by word: `lora st` gives `lora status`, `gnss track ` lists
`start stop`. The words are read from the help text as written, so a new
command completes with no table to keep; the Shell's own words are added in
the same notation.
`*` and `?` in the last part of a path, for ls, du, rm, cp and mv, from the
Shell and both consoles. The command runs once for each name matched, lined
up and run by the main loop as each finishes; `cancel` empties the line-up.
64 matches at most, refused whole past that. In the Shell, rm with a pattern
asks once, with the count.

Past the command's name, Tab completes the word being typed as a path: a
folder keeps its slash to go on from, a file completed whole gets a space,
several candidates are listed. Any case typed, the name's own is taken.
After a file command the first slash is understood (`cat no` is /no).
The folder is read on the storage task, bounded to 400 entries looked at
and 24 candidates.
489 host tests (2 new). Checked on the device: a folder, a file inside it,
several candidates, no slash, another case, nothing matching.

The Shell shows the replies to its own commands and nothing else. The
console knows who each line is printed for (Console::As, Console::origin):
a command run from the Shell prints as the Shell's, and what answers it
later from another task carries that along (ls, tasks, du, cp, update
check, sd list, screenshot, gemini get). Ctrl+b shows everything instead.
This replaces the ten-second window, which was a guess.
An App's name with a capital opens it (Notes, Irc, Wifi, Gnss, Gemini, Lora,
Storage, Shell, System, Settings), from the Shell and from the consoles.
rm needs -r for a folder, here and over the consoles. In the Shell a file,
or a folder with something in it, is asked about unless -f; an empty folder
with -r goes without a word.
The Shell now hands its line to the main loop to run: run from inside the
key handler, rm on a folder overflowed the loop's stack and crashed the
device. `info` says which App is in front.

An App in the Launcher that runs the same commands as USB serial and the
Debug Console, trusted like the first. It shows what the console prints
while it is open, through a second ring of the console's that exists only
meanwhile; Ctrl+b keeps only what follows your own commands. Tab completes
a command's name from the firmware's help text, Fn with up and down recalls
earlier lines, Alt with up and down scrolls back. `rm` asks first in the
Shell, `rm -f` doesn't. Nothing is kept once the App is left.
`screenshot [seconds]` saves the screen as a PNG in /screenshots on the
card, now or after a pause: written a row at a time, indexed colour with
RGB332 as the palette, in one stored deflate block.
487 host tests (11 new: the PNG writer, the Shell's log filter, Tab).
Checked on the device over the Debug Console: commands, Tab, history, a
screenshot fetched and decoded on the PC, rm with and without the question,
a delayed screenshot of another screen. 12 KB of flash; 7 KB of heap while
open. Decisions Q204 to Q212 in docs/milestones/S1.md. Safe Mode: #77.

Every screen's keys are constant tables in lib/core/src/app_keys.h (52 of
them, each under an `// id: Title` comment). An App's help() picks the table
of the state it is in. site/tools/gen_dev_docs.py reads the same file and
writes site/data/keys.toml; the `keys` shortcode shows a screen's tables on
its guide page, and /guide/keys/ shows all of them.
The Site job fails when the data file is out of date or a page asks for a
table that doesn't exist, and now also runs when app_keys.h changes. A key
added to an App shows up on the website without anyone editing a page.
