- hit ⌃ + ↩ to turn back from some additional boxes to current session of query
< ldl > (last query or last query for phrasal verb) go to the definition of the word of the last query
If you notice this sign 🔦 it means the current deffinition exist additional words for search. Hit ⌃ + ↵ (SEE ALSO) to show and search by this words.
