It has built in commands that can be used to open a website, copy/pasting links in the web browser, switching to other tabs, going back or forth in the browser history, search for phrases, and more.

Unlike the hotkeys, these commands can actually be used through a command line interface. In order to show the command line interface, you have to press the ( : ) colon. Once the command line is visible, you can give commands like open trishtech.com to open a website, or home to open the home page in the web browser.
