## Basics
Tridactyl turns Firefox into a modal browser, meaning it has several different modes of operation. It can only ever be in one mode at a time, and each of these modes could have a wildly different operation. You can think of it a bit like a Transformer, if you like.

The idea behind Tridactyl is to allow you to navigate the web more efficiently with just the keyboard. Tridactyl turns Firefox into a modal browser, meaning it has several different modes of operation, like Vim. It can only ever be in one mode at a time, and each of these modes could have a wildly different operation. You can think of it a bit like a Transformer, if you like. There are four main modes you will want to be familiar with:
- Normal mode
- This mode is used for navigating around single pages and starting other modes.

- This mode passes all keypresses through to the web page. It is useful for websites that have their own keybinds, such as games and Gmail.
- You can enter the mode with `I` and leave it with `Shift-Esc`.
Almost all of the modes are controlled by series of keypresses. In this tutorial, a sequence of keys such as `zz` should be entered by pressing the key `z`, letting go, and then pressing the key `z`. There is no need to hold both keys at once, if that were even possible. (`zz` resets the zoom level to the default, so it probably didn't seem to do anything).

Sometimes `help` refers to a command that must be entered in command mode; it should hopefully always be clear from context which we mean.
