 ## Use
 
-Open **`/pinote`**. Select or create a task, preview it,
-clear the selection, complete it, respond to suggestions, or edit shared settings.
-Selecting an existing task starts it immediately and returns focus to the prompt,
-with no extra confirmation. Creation and settings changes still require confirmation.
-Nothing submits a model prompt automatically; inserting Continue's draft requires
-confirmation and preserves an existing draft.
-
-Menus use Pi's native components and configured selection keys. **Escape** goes
-back; **Ctrl+R** refreshes. Settings with fewer than five choices cycle inline.
-Fullscreen has a native clickable footer: **▤** opens Pinote; clicking a selected
-title previews it and double-clicking completes it. A suggested title requires a
-double-click to accept. Regular mode shows status; `/pinote` provides all actions.
-No Kitty action handler is needed for this extension.
+Open **`/pinote`** for the selected task's actions, pending suggestion, task picker
+and shared settings. **Choose a task… / Switch task…** opens task-only search:
+all search terms must match the title, description, tag or numeric ID. Results show
+status and the current selection; selection waits for fresh search results.
+Press **F1** on a result to read its full title and text without selecting it.
+Selecting a task starts it and returns to the unchanged prompt without another
+confirmation. **Clear selection** leaves its progress unchanged.
+
+**Preview** opens a scrollable, read-only document. **Insert task prompt…** reviews
+and inserts into an empty editor only; it never submits or replaces a draft.
+Creation, suggestion acceptance and shared changes require complete review, then
+a separate Cancel-first confirmation. Menu completion also asks explicitly;
+footer double-click is sufficient approval. Both require idle Pi. Failed or uncertain
+writes offer refresh/verification, never automatic replay.
+
+**Settings** groups prompts/guidance, task-offer policy, footer layout and field
+definitions. Editors accept plain text or numbers, not JSON; validation retains
+the draft. Cancelling a change's confirmation returns to its text draft. Values
+are saved only after review and confirmation.
+
+Menus use Pi's native inline components, themes and configured selection keys.
+**Escape** goes back; **Ctrl+R** refreshes; page keys scroll lists and documents.
+Small terminals show compact menus or ask you to enlarge the window before acting.
+Fullscreen has a clickable footer: **▤** opens Pinote; single-click a task title
+to preview, or double-click to complete immediately without another confirmation
+(requires idle Pi). Suggestion titles only preview; double-click never accepts.
+Regular mode shows status; `/pinote` provides all actions. No Kitty action handler

 ## Migration
 
+Since pi-note 0.39.2, fullscreen task-title double-click completes without another
+confirmation; single-click still previews and menu completion still confirms.
+Update the client and `/reload` Pi. The service must support footer double-click

 Since pi-note 0.36.0, new-task proposals use `title` and optional `description`
 instead of `text`, in both remote and local modes. Update clients and service
 together, then `/reload` Pi. Stored tasks and pending suggestions are unchanged;
