Smog comes with a few essential shortcuts you can customize:

• Quick Hide – instantly hide or show Smog.
• Push-to-Ask – hold to ask the AI a question on the fly.
• Start / Stop Listen – toggle live transcription.
• Toggle Vision – enable or disable screen analysis.

You can configure all shortcuts in Settings → Shortcuts.
