Motion, shortcuts and help

Set motion and shortcut preferences and read the keyboard help in Settings.

Current beta & runtime boundary

At snapshot 6e6ad828c (2026-11-02 canonical ledger), 19 of 242 whole EARS requirements and 42 of 417 scenarios hold historical source-bound acceptance. The embedded specimen below runs in-browser over deterministic fixtures, and captures in Evidence come from the frozen bc3daf7b reference baseline. Native Omarchy/Hyprland shortcut grab, compositor reduced-motion, frame-pacing latency, AT/IME, and release acceptance remain OPEN.

Overview

Set motion and shortcut preferences and read the keyboard help in Settings.

Anatomy

Settings offers Follow system, Reduced motion and Full motion. Shortcut choices cover Applications, System and Notifications, with Keep, Default and Alternative choices and availability details.

States

Saving a motion preference and applying motion are separate facts: a saved preference is not an application acknowledgement. Shortcut choices have their own save boundary and live binding observation.

Specimen

Real Elm interface. Simulated desktop. Client window interiors are fixtures. Load the desktop only when you want to explore this component.

Behavior

Expand Show help for keyboard guidance. Save the relevant preference and check its status. Refresh reads current state; it does not automatically repeat a mutation.

Accessibility

Show help reveals inline keyboard guidance without moving the user away from Settings. Name each shortcut route and its available choices, and retain focus and readable status as help expands or text is enlarged. The selected preference and the keyboard focus indicator have separate meanings.

Content

Motion offers System, Reduce and Full. Saving the preference and receiving acknowledgement that the motion profile was applied are separate events. Shortcut routes offer Keep, Default or Alternate where the observed binding inventory permits them. If stored choices conflict with a draft, confirm each affected route before saving. Refresh reads stored preferences and live bindings; it does not repeat a write.
