## 2.3. Mode/Page

A mode refers to two things in Kino, depending upon context. For one, based upon the vi analogy, mode refers to the keyboard command context: normal or "ex." Secondly, and more commonly, a mode refers to one of Kino's major functions, and the Kino user interface uses a notebook widget with pages for each mode. Sometimes, a mode is also called a "page," as in the "capture page." Unlike vi, though, when you press 'i' to enter input mode, you actually switch to Kino's capture mode. And since Kino does not capture characters, it uses the same set of keyboard commands that the edit mode uses for navigation. See Chapter 13, Keyboard Shortcut Reference for more information.
