The keymap was scattered over ShortcutsService if-chains, the file panel's
key switch, macOS-only menu accelerators and hand-typed hints in 16
tooltips x 7 locales, and large parts of the app had no keyboard path at
all. src/shared/keymap.ts is now the one table: scopes, per-platform
defaults, exact matching, formatting with localized key names, conflicts,
reserved combos and native-menu accelerators, proven by keymap.spec.ts.
- ShortcutsService resolves against the effective keymap: claim() takes
the key (preventDefault, held keys repeat only movement, never mid-IME),
and from a text field only chords and F-keys fire. The file panel, App,
editor, manager and Settings windows all dispatch through it.
- FileActionsService.run is the one file-command dispatcher for the list
keys, the row menu, the macOS menu bar and the toolbar.
- New keys: the row menu (Shift+F10 / Menu / Ctrl+Return), the source
picker (Mod+K), the path bar (Mod+L), transfers (Mod+J), sorting
(Alt+1-7), Shift+movement selection, close other tabs, move and
disconnect tabs, refresh and edit on Windows/Linux, permissions, copy
path, reveal, trash, open in default app, editor find next/previous.
- Right-click menus: soft shortcut hints, icons on the everyday verbs
(the toolbar's glyphs), section headers, scrolling, item keys while
open, a highlighted first item when opened from the keyboard. The panel
source picker now renders through the same menu.
- Dialogs: role=dialog, a Tab trap via cycleFocus (WKWebView skips
buttons on Tab without Keyboard navigation), initial focus, Esc that
stops propagating; the chmod dialog takes focus and applies on Enter.
- Fixed: Ctrl+Tab also flipped the active panel; Esc in a manager dialog
closed the manager; Ctrl-F/T fired Cmd shortcuts on macOS; shortcuts
fired under dialogs; keys died after any button click on macOS; the
editor's save prompt and find box never got focus; WebView2 reload keys;
a window could save default settings before its first load.
- Settings closes on its own close-window key (new settingsClose request).

The tab-bar popover had outgrown itself. Settings now open in their own
native window (a fourth window kind, built like the connection manager but
not modal): a sidebar with Appearance, Transfers, Editor, File list and
About, holding every popover row plus the visible-columns choice. Each
control is an ordinary settings save, so the other windows follow live
while it stays open.
The gear button in the tab bar, Ctrl+, and the macOS app menu's
"Settings..." (Cmd+,) open it. On macOS Cmd+W arrives as the main window's
close-tab menu action, so bun closes the focused Settings window first
instead of a main-window tab.

Right-click did nothing under the win7 skin, and then swallowed the next
click. 7.css declares `position: relative` on ul[role=menu] and the `skin`
layer outranks `utilities`, so Tailwind's `.fixed` lost: [style.left/top.px]
became flow offsets from the menu's static position — the last child of the
h-screen frame — and every menu rendered below the viewport, unreachable
behind overflow:hidden. Its backdrop is a plain <div>, unmatched by 7.css, so
that stayed genuinely fixed and ate the following click. Regressed in 0ae2a62,
when the menu adopted 7.css's real markup.
Restated `position: fixed` in skinfix, scoped to a new `w7-ctx` marker so
7.css's own menus keep theirs. scripts/menu-probe.ts is the regression test:
it renders the menu at declared coordinates, pixel-scans whether it landed
there, and carries a marker-less control menu (the bug verbatim) as its own
discriminator. A resting pixel diff cannot see this class of bug.
Selection band goes flat: --w7-sel-bg/-bd (#cbe8f6/#26a0da) is what Explorer
actually painted, where 7.css reused --w7-el-grad-h, its Aero element-hover
ramp. That var is left alone — buttons and tabs still want the gloss. The
unfocused pane gets the grey idle band; the band still never disappears with
focus, it only weakens. Harness diff confirms the change touches selection
rows and nothing else, in both themes.
New workspace-tab right-click menu in both skins: New Tab, Close Tab, Close
Other Tabs, Close Tabs to the Right, Disconnect. The target id travels inside
the action string because the right-clicked tab is not necessarily the active
one. Illegal entries are disabled rather than omitted, the way Win7 greyed
out — and since 7.css's [aria-disabled] handling is CSS-only, the keyboard
paths check the flag themselves.

Groundwork for the vim-style bindings planned next: the app previously had NO
keyboard abstraction — `event.metaKey || event.ctrlKey` copy-pasted inline in
six places, no typing-target guard anywhere, every window root matching keys
by hand.
New @core/shortcuts.service.ts owns:
- isMod() (also accepts MouseEvent — Mod+click toggle-select uses the same
rule) and isTypingTarget();
- ONE declarative keymap: resolve(event, scope) -> ShortcutId | null, scoped
main / editor / manager. Layout rules are encoded once: digits, +/- and
Alt-letter chords match on event.code (AZERTY digit rows, layouts where '+'
needs Shift, macOS Option-Z producing Ω); plain letter chords match on
event.key so they follow the user's layout.
Both app.ts, both editor-window.ts and both connection-manager.ts now resolve
through the service and switch on ids — behaviour-preserving for every
existing shortcut, including the deliberate quirks (Ctrl+Tab never meta
because Cmd-Tab is the macOS app switcher; Cmd+9 = last tab; editor Mod+W is
the Windows/Linux arm, macOS routes via the app menu). Escape and Tab stay
component-local on purpose: their meaning is per-window state (find bar open?
close prompt up? caret in the textarea?), not a global binding. The file
panels keep their contextual key state machine but delegate modifier tests.
On top of the table: Ctrl/Cmd +/-/0 steps/resets the interface scale in every
window kind, all three previously unclaimed. isTypingTarget is applied
per-shortcut, not globally in resolve(): the scale keys must not fire while
typing ('-' in a rename prompt must type '-'), but the editor WANTS Mod+S
mid-typing and the tab shortcuts keep their existing reach.
Docs: architecture.md's density prose now describes the uiScale lever;
gotchas.md gains the scale section — the disassembly evidence that native
page zoom is an empty stub on Linux (so nobody tries it again), the
everything-must-be-rem rule, the skinfix-outranks-variants trap the harness
caught (48px close button silently 29px), and the px-mirrors-in-TS class of
bug with the remPx() remedy.
Verified: tsc + build clean; live boot with the user's real legacy settings
file migrates textSize:large -> uiScale 1.2 and renders scaled. Not verified
here (needs interaction): the stepper clicks and the shortcut keys themselves.

Both UIs now live side by side. The 18 modern component files come straight
from `git show main:<path>` — recovered, not rewritten, which is possible
because main's tip IS the merge base of this branch. There is no title-bar
among them: that component is win7-only, since the modern skin defers to the
native window frame.
Their imports were rewritten to @core the same way stage 1 did, leaving only
skin-internal relative imports behind. Added skins/shadlike/index.ts exporting
SHAD_ROOTS with the same shape as SEVEN_ROOTS, so main.ts can select a tree
without knowing either skin's internals.
Restored the skin axis in core/platform.ts, deleted in fe028a9 and needed
again by the modern tree: __APP_SKIN on the Window global, APP_SKIN,
IS_WIN7_CHROME, and IS_MAC_CHROME = IS_MAC && !IS_WIN7_CHROME. That last one
is what reserves pl-24 for the macOS traffic lights in the fused hiddenInset
header — and correctly stops reserving it under win7, where titleBarStyle
'hidden' removes the traffic lights entirely.
The tree is not reachable yet; the build is the gate. I checked that the gate
is real rather than assuming it: injecting a type error into an unreferenced
shadlike file does fail `bun run build:ui`, so ngtsc type-checks the whole
program including components nothing imports. Without that check, "the build
passes" would have proven nothing about 18 files no one references.
win7 remains pixel-identical to the pre-refactor baseline.
