Keyboard shortcut discoverability demo

Why this matters

Shortcuts are fast for power users, but they can break typing if they fire inside inputs.
Single-letter shortcuts can also conflict with assistive tech; keep them scoped, documented, and optional.
When something changes (selection, archive), announce politely via role="status" — without moving focus.

Try: J/K (next/previous), E (archive), ? (shortcuts). Arrow keys always work in the list.

Tip: Press ? to view keyboard shortcuts. (Or use the Keyboard shortcuts button.)

Messages (focus this list and use ↑/↓ or J/K)

Keyboard-only: Tab to the list, then use ↑/↓ or J/K. Archive with E.
Typing safety: place caret in the Search input and type j k e ? — nothing should archive or move selection.
International keyboards: ? may require Shift + another key. The demo listens for the typed question mark.

Shortcuts are active only when focus is inside the app (and not inside inputs). You can disable them.
