Warpstead puts your whole job on one canvas: the Windows programs you already use, running live, next to the folders, files, notes, PDFs and video they belong with. This manual covers everything in the current beta, one chapter per part of the program.
If you have five minutes, read Getting started and The canvas. Everything else you can look up when you need it, and the full list of keys and gestures is in Keyboard and mouse.
Inside Warpstead, hold F1 at any time: labels appear on the parts of the screen and tell you what they are. Let go and they disappear.
