fix(web): match macOS Option shortcuts to the active keyboard layout - #24034
Fixes https://git.cafe/pingdotgg/t3code/issues/15954. On macOS French AZERTY, Cmd+Option+Shift+A can produce key: "Æ", code: "KeyQ". The shortcut matcher assumes the physical US letter Q when Option hides the layout's letter, so the advertised appearance shortcut does not run (or a Q binding wins).
Change
Use the browser's keyboard layout map for macOS Option-modified symbols. Keep ordinary Latin event.key precedence, explicit symbol matching, and existing physical fallback when the map is absent or non-Latin. Refresh on layout changes without blocking startup, and discard stale async results. Settings shortcut recording uses the same mapping.
This applies to the web client and Electron's shared web UI, including command dispatch and Settings recording. No server, wire contract, provider adapter, mobile navigation, or persisted shortcut migration changes. The map is read on the client, so local and remote environments use the keyboard where the user is typing. Browsers without the Keyboard Map API retain the existing behavior; this does not claim to fix their unavailable layout information. API reference: https://wicg.github.io/keyboard-map/.
November 7 integration: current head b076ad3 includes main at e455200. vp run check:changed passes 68 tests, 34 affected-package typechecks and React Compiler checks.
Actual Chromium startup and Settings recording before/after: the browser no longer crashes when its Keyboard object lacks EventTarget methods. A focus refresh preserves the valid map while the new lookup is pending; layoutchange and current-request failure still clear it. These async transitions have failing-before/passing-after automated coverage.
The evidence below records the earlier implementation and remains revision-specific.
Before implementation, a focused regression with A and Q bindings failed: the captured event incorrectly resolved to sidebar.toggle (Q) instead of appearance.cycle (A).
vp test run apps/web/src/keybindings.test.ts apps/web/src/keyboardLayout.test.ts apps/web/src/components/settings/KeybindingsSettings.logic.test.ts: 53 tests pass, covering the collision, Latin-key precedence, non-Latin/absent-map fallback, AltGraph exclusion, recording, layout changes, rejected lookups, stale completion, and disposal.
vp run check:changed: formatting, lint, knip, affected-package typechecks, and nearby tests pass.
Integrated check in an isolated local macOS web client using Codex's in-app browser. A temporary, uncommitted fixture supplied KeyQ -> a and replayed the issue's captured keydown through a visible button. Before: two replays left appearance at System. After: the first replay changed it to Light; the next changed it to Dark. The fixture and server were removed after verification. No OS keyboard settings or live T3 data were changed.
This is captured-event replay, not native physical French keyboard or packaged Electron validation. No provider turn was submitted.
Macroscope's review found this PR approvable — macOS Option shortcuts now follow the active keyboard layout when recording and matching shortcuts. The change is limited to shortcut interpretation, with existing fallbacks preserved when layout information is unavailable.

Walkthrough
The web app now tracks keyboard layout data and uses it during shortcut conversion and matching. Shared matching uses mapped letters for eligible macOS Option-modified events. Tests cover layout updates, cleanup, shortcut matching, and fallback behavior.
The web app refreshes the layout map on startup, layout changes, and focus. It ignores stale results, clears the map after failures or cleanup, and stops tracking during HMR disposal. Tests cover refreshes and disposal.

Shared shortcut resolution accepts an optional layout map and uses it for macOS Option-modified events. The web app passes platform and layout data through matching and keybinding conversion. Tests cover mapped-key matching and fallback behavior.

- Around line 98-99: Update candidate generation in the code around `mappedKey`
to retain the physical punctuation-code candidate when the keyboard layout map
supplies a letter, while continuing to suppress physical letter candidates.
Ensure an Option event for a punctuation key such as `Semicolon` can still match
its physical punctuation shortcut alongside the mapped-letter candidate.

Merged main c3888da in 15c03c2. The startup conflict is resolved by preserving keyboard-layout tracking/HMR cleanup and using main's startAppServices entry point (without restoring obsolete router/auth initialization). check:changed passes all scoped gates, 55 tests in three files, and affected-package typechecks. Existing keyboard behavior/evidence is unchanged.
Heads-up: this also fixes a SnapShot bug on macOS, which is worth keeping in mind when you test it.
The SnapShot shortcut recorder calls keybindingFromKeyboardEvent, so on main Option+letter stores the symbol instead of the letter. ⌃⌥⌘J records ∆, and Settings then shows "The system could not register this shortcut." I saw that in the real desktop app while testing #22934.
I checked this PR at 15c03c2eed with a throwaway test: with the layout map loaded, { key: "∆", code: "KeyJ" } with Cmd, Ctrl and Option held records mod+ctrl+alt+j. I haven't tried it in a real desktop build, so the SnapShot flow itself is untested here.
Tested this on macOS with a native Dvorak layout (com.apple.keylayout.Dvorak). It fixes a second layout, plus one startup crash to fix first.
Startup crash in Chrome. At 15c03c2, the web client fails to load with keyboard?.addEventListener is not a function. Chromium's navigator.keyboard has getLayoutMap() but isn't an EventTarget, so the ?. in trackKeyboardLayout doesn't guard it. The tests use a fake keyboard that has addEventListener, so they don't catch this. I haven't run the unmodified PR build in Electron, but it uses the same Chromium. Locally, keyboard?.addEventListener?.(...) / removeEventListener?.(...) fixes it. Chromium never fires layoutchange, so refreshing the map on window focus is probably also needed.
Dvorak results with that guard applied (vp run dev:desktop):
Native keydown for ⌥⌘N, captured in the 0.1.6 desktop app: {"key":"Dead","code":"KeyL"}. On main this resolves as l, so chat.newWithoutProject (mod+alt+n) never fires.
getLayoutMap() returns KeyL → n.
⌥⌘N now opens a thread without a project ✅
⌥⌘B (Dvorak B is physical KeyN) opened a projectless thread on main; with this PR it toggles the right panel ✅
Side note: Chrome takes ⌥⌘N for split view on macOS, so the web build can't test or use this shortcut in Chrome.
Fixed the Chromium startup blocker and the missing focus refresh in d985edb, after merging main e455200 without rewriting existing commits.
Optional keyboard event methods no longer crash browsers that expose getLayoutMap() without EventTarget. Window focus refreshes the layout; disposal and stale async results remain guarded.
The existing recording regression now covers both keyboard API shapes, layout refresh, and disposal. The no-EventTarget case failed before the fix and passes afterward.
check:changed passed: formatting, lint, both knip passes, 34 affected-package typechecks, 68 tests in four files, and changed React compiler checks.
Real isolated macOS Chromium client: reproduced the startup error before the fix; afterward paired successfully, opened Settings → Keybindings, and recorded Ctrl+Option+Command+J as mod+ctrl+alt+j. No native Dvorak/French input or packaged Electron SnapShot registration was repeated; the contributor's native Dvorak evidence remains fix(web): match macOS Option shortcuts to the active keyboard layout #24034 (comment).

Merged main d2c25950b4 in ac78f522a5 (merge commit, no rebase) to clear the conflict in packages/shared/src/keybindingMatching.ts. shortcutKeyFromEvent keeps this PR's layout-map lookup for Option letters and main's unshifted zoom + rule, in that order. The web wrapper now takes shiftKey and altKey to match main's signature. vp run check:changed and the keybinding, keyboard layout, and settings recorder tests pass.
