Contributor guide
Research direction
Start by locating CmdPal's keyboard-shortcut selection flow and the handling for low-level keyboard hooks (LLKH). Confirm how reserved shortcuts such as Win+Space are detected, then define the warning behavior for selections that require LLKH; done means the warning appears in that case and does not appear for usable shortcuts.
