How to use fa-random

Controls/Keyboard Shortcuts:

• ENTER or SPACE or the ‘generate’ button: get a new random icon
• F: toggle fullscreen
• ESCAPE: exit fullscreen
• LEFT and RIGHT arrows: go back and forth between previously generated icons
• C: copy a link to the current icon
• BACKSPACE: reset icon (to url or first random)
• H or SHIFT: toggle showing the menu
• I or ?: go to this help page

Notes:

• The icon-?? text is useful for me, don’t pay attention to it
• The ‘true’ or ‘false’ after the dot shows if there’s a regular icon to go with the shown solid icon
• You can search for an icon by adding ?x=icon-name (no ‘fa-’) to the url
• If the icon specified by the ?x=___ does not exist, default information and no icon will be shown
• The above will also happen if you try to reset (with backspace) to an icon that does not exist
