How Shortcuts Work
Section titled “How Shortcuts Work”Shortcuts are registered globally when the app starts. The handler checks the key combination, prevents the default browser behavior, and runs the action.
Mac detection uses navigator.platform to decide whether to match Ctrl or Cmd as the modifier. Shift+Tab is special-cased to avoid interfering with Tab key handling in forms and inputs.
