Step 4 — Hotkeys

On any tab under a host you added, Tavra listens for five Ctrl+Shift chords. (Ctrl+Shift, not Ctrl+Option — Option+letter is a dead-key composer on macOS and never fires.)

⌃⇧OShow / hide the on-screen chat overlay (visible on the Mac).
⌃⇧XScreenshot the current tab. Preview attaches to the next send. Works even on pages whose images normally block capture.
⌃⇧TTyping mode — every keystroke goes to Tavra, nothing to the LMS.
⌃⇧SSend. Ships the buffered text + any attached screenshots to the AI.
⌃⇧PMove overlay to your phone / bring it back. See step 5.
Typing mode is a hard capture.

While ⌃⇧T is on, every keystroke — letters, numbers, backspace, enter — is eaten by Tavra and sent to the phone. Nothing lands in the LMS's answer field. Escape or a second ⌃⇧T exits without sending; ⌃⇧S sends + exits.
