Controls

The UI of EMPC is based on mouse movements and event areas.
Moving the mouse to an area of the application window
will trigger a change in the view state. Unless the current view
has been mouse-hold toggled or keyboard toggled using a global
hotkey, it will automatically hide after HIDE_TIMEOUT seconds.
Hints for available navigation appear when the view changes:

• blue indicates a new view is available in a direction
• red indicates the previous view is available in a direction

Mouse bindings for the player view and event area sizes can
be changed using the defines at the top of empc.edc.

Global hotkeys

Filesystem view

Typing on the keyboard in this view will actively search
