Results appear in the output pane: the structure of a table after you change
it, the rows from `show data` and after writes (as aligned, box-drawn
tables), query plans, and command outcomes marked with a ✓ or ✗.

## Scrolling

Use <kbd>PageUp</kbd> and <kbd>PageDown</kbd> to scroll back through earlier
output. New output snaps the view back to the most recent entry, so you never
lose your place when you run something.

## The schema sidebar

On a wide terminal a sidebar runs down the left-hand side, listing your
**tables** and **relationships** so the shape of your database is always in
view. It shows and hides itself automatically with the terminal width — on a
narrow window it stays out of the way and the output pane gets the full width.

Press <kbd>Ctrl-O</kbd> to bring the sidebar up at any size and step through
it: the first press focuses the **Tables** panel, the next focuses
**Relationships**, and once more returns you to the input field
(<kbd>Esc</kbd> leaves it directly). While a panel is focused it widens to
show more detail and is marked with a coloured border;
<kbd>↑</kbd>/<kbd>↓</kbd> scroll it a line at a time and
<kbd>PageUp</kbd>/<kbd>PageDown</kbd> a page at a time.

A fuller session journal — a scrollable, richly rendered log of the whole
session that you can save as Markdown — is planned and not yet available.
