We have revamped the keyboard shortcuts system to make sending shortcuts consistent across multiple target host systems.
<!-- more -->
The new system is built around the concept of a magic key. Pressing the magic key in the web UI turns on the keyboard shortcut composition mode. The web UI will keep accumulating modifier keys, such as `Ctrl`/`Command`, `Shift`, and `Alt`/`Option`, and display them in an overlay.
As soon as you push a non-modifier key (typically, alphanumeric keys), the web UI will stop accumulating modifiers and send all the keys you pressed.
For details, please see the [documentation](https://docs.pikvm.org/shortcuts/).
