# Peek, Little Arc and links from other apps

> Preview links without leaving the page, open quick lookups in a small window, and send links from other apps to the right Space.

## Peek

Peek opens a link in a panel over the current page, so you can read it and get back without losing your place.

- **Shift-click** a link to open it in Peek (Settings ▸ Links ▸ Shift-click a link to open it in Peek).
- Links to other sites from a Favorite or a pinned tab can open in Peek too (Settings ▸ Links ▸ Open links to other sites in Peek).

In Peek, the buttons on the right close it, turn it into a tab, or open it in [Split View](/help/split-view). `Esc` or a click on the dimmed page closes it.

## Little Arc

Little Arc is a small, simple window for quick lookups.

- `⌥⌘N` opens a new Little Arc window. With **Settings ▸ Links ▸ Press ⌥⌘N in any app to open Little Arc**, the same key works while you are in another app.
- `⌥⌘`-click a link to open it in Little Arc (Settings ▸ Links).
- `⌘O` moves the page into a Space of your choice, as a regular tab.

Idle Little Arc windows close by themselves after **Settings ▸ Links ▸ Archive Little Arcs after** (6 hours by default), and their pages go to the [archive](/help/archive).

## Links from other apps

When Open Arc is your default browser, links you click in Mail, Slack or any other app open in Open Arc.

- **Open links from other apps in Little Arc** (Settings ▸ Links) opens them in a Little Arc window instead of a tab.
- **Air Traffic Control** (Settings ▸ Links ▸ Air Traffic Control…) sends links from chosen sites to a chosen Space, for example everything from your company's domain to your Work Space.
