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/). \ No newline at end of file
