Keyboard shortcuts
Capture, move through the DOM, mask content, and copy without leaving the keyboard.

During capture
Pinar intercepts only its active capture shortcuts so the host page does not receive the same keystroke.

Browser shortcuts stay inert onchrome://pages, on the Chrome Web Store, and before the overlay is injected.
Focus-heavy pages
On sites with aggressive focus traps, Pinar retries focusing the comment composer a limited number of times, then stops rather than freezing the tab. Click the composer directly if the page keeps stealing focus.
Overlay, icon, and DOM walk details
Capture shortcuts are owned only while the overlay is active. The extension icon toggles that overlay; it does not delete pins. Hovering the toolbar without an open draft makes it pass-through so you can still click or drag the page underneath. Shift+Enter inserts a line break in the composer, and host-page shortcuts typed there are stopped from leaving the comment field.
Arrow Up walks to the parent element and remembers the child you left, so Arrow Down returns to that remembered node when it is still a child; otherwise it uses the first child. In mask mode, drag a region to hide it and click an existing mask to restore it. Keyboard scrolling still works on the document, but keys aimed at focused page controls are blocked so they cannot activate buttons or type into the host form.
Command/Ctrl/Alt+Entersaves an open draft, then copies; without a comment it shows “Write a comment first” instead of sending an empty pin.- After
Escapeor copy, Pinar keeps owning that physical key through keyup so the host page does not treat the same keystroke as its own cancel or submit. - An area pin starts only after the pointer moves about six pixels; a shorter click still pins the hovered element instead of opening a freeform rectangle.
