Recursive Grid mode
Recursive Grid repeatedly subdivides the current area, like zooming into a map. It is useful for small icons, small controls, canvas objects, and repeated work within one area.
Enter it from Normal with f. The default grid is 3 × 3:
qwe
asd
zxc
- Target keys
How it differs from Grid
- Grid normally finishes after a fixed number of levels and is best for reaching an area quickly.
- Recursive Grid keeps its session after a click by default, so you can continue subdividing the selected area.
