## Evidence

**Additional accepted behavior:** the physical Slash fallback also accepts unshifted German `-` and AZERTY `!` outside editable fields; both were ignored before. This is broader than the Russian/Ukrainian examples in the PR title.

PR [#33395](https://git.cafe/pingdotgg/t3code/pull/33395). Captured all **10/10 required rows (F01–F10)** out of 16 total matrix rows. F11–F16 were waived by the matrix and are not claimed verified.

All keyboard layout events are **synthetic**, dispatched as bubbling, cancelable KeyboardEvents onto the actual focused target. These recordings prove app key/code handling, not OS layout switching, native browser Find suppression, Electron interception, or mobile keyboard behavior.

Steps and dispatch timestamps are listed below the chapter index, above the recording pair links for each detailed sequence. The same scripts, data and event order run on both commits. Wide recordings retain the round-1 recorder and timing. Compact recordings are round-2 replacements: complete viewport PNG samples (about two per second), assembled using actual sample durations and normalized to 10 fps H.264. Repeated frames preserve elapsed time; 10 fps is the encoding rate, not a claim of ten distinct captures per second. A visible outcome may follow dispatch by one sample interval; the on-frame captions and decoded outcome checks identify each phase.

Rendering environment for the unchanged wide recordings: Linux x86_64, T3 Code Browser panel, headless Chromium **156.0.0.0**, no device emulation, device pixel ratio **2**, browser zoom **1**, font scaling **100%**, default app fonts (Inter Variable, 16px root). Real Appearance controls set Light/Dark. Both use Date frozen at **2026-01-01T12:00:00Z** via a Date shim. Motion is reduced with a matchMedia shim and disabled CSS animation/transition durations. Initial route is `/settings/general` and scroll position is top on both sides. Both apps run from the exact commits in separate checkouts with `T3CODE_DEV_SEED=0`; no live database data is used.

Compact round-2 rendering environment: Linux x86_64, Playwright fresh headless Chromium **148.0.7778.96** contexts, no device emulation, **700×900 CSS px**, DPR **2** / **1400×1800 encoded pixels**, zoom **1**, font scaling **100%**, default Inter Variable font / 16px root. Real Appearance controls set Dark; scroll starts at top. Both sides use the same frozen Date **2026-01-01T12:00:00Z**, reduced motion and evidence annotations. Each app uses a fresh empty database from its exact checkout with `T3CODE_DEV_SEED=0`. Full PNG sampling avoids accumulating partial compositor rectangles. The original `capture-driver-r1.js` is unchanged.

The cyan outline is an explicitly labelled **evidence focus annotation** attached to `input[aria-label="Search settings"]:focus`. The product’s unstyled search input has no native focus ring. Captions and this outline do not change focus, handlers, the catalog, or route behavior.

### Fixture coverage

| Row | Capture | Observed before → after |
|---|---|---|
| F01 | Wide/light | New Russian/Ukrainian, German and AZERTY physical Slash/find tuples: ignored → search focused. Preserved typed shortcuts work on both. Empty and whitespace controls recorded. |
| F02 | Compact/dark | New Slash/Ctrl-F/Meta-F independently: 56px closed rail → 650px overlay with search focused after; before stays rail. |
| F03 | Wide/light | Existing theme query: caret 5–5/Close focus → whole query selected 0–5/search focus. Native insertText appends themefont before versus replacing with font after. |
| F04 | Compact/dark | Existing font query keeps 650px overlay on both; 4–4/Close focus → 0–4/search focus. |
| F05 | Wide/light | Zero-result Ctrl-F: no focus takeover before → query selected after. Clear restores tree on both. |
| F06 | Compact/dark | Zero-result Meta-F: no focus takeover before → query selected after. Clear and empty blur recover. |
| F07 | Wide/light | Slash preserves caret in actual search and actual Keybindings filter on both. New Ctrl/Meta-F transfers from ordinary filter only after. |
| F08 | Wide/light | Real keybinding recorder consumes events; Escape discards each draft. Real Appearance Chat width select option retains popup focus for Slash/find. No drafts or select values saved. |
| F09 | Wide/light + compact shifted-slash negatives | Search ignores disallowed Shift/Alt/modifier, Latin mismatch, composition, missing-code and pre-canceled cases on both. Existing global project-search/Usage shortcuts are explicitly recorded and dismissed in the appended isolated chapter. |
| F10 | Compact/dark | Both: composing Escape preserves query; Escape and clear restore tree; empty blur restores rail; Search icon reopens; Enter on real Themes result clears query, closes overlay and navigates to Appearance target. |

### Chapter index

MP4 chapter metadata is included. The **F09-verified** chapter is the independent-reset negative-case proof. The wide clips join three retained source intervals using the uploaded assembly script and explicit per-side edit maps; exploratory negative chapters and idle gaps are excluded. F03 appears again at the end for the insertion operation without manual refocus.

### Compact round-2 decoded frame checks

Both replacement MP4s were decoded and every listed chapter and event/action outcome frame was opened and visually inspected: **52/52 checks clean**. No compositor bars, ghosted rail, stale tooltip/overlay pixels, spinner/skeleton or unrendered regions were observed. A real Close tooltip follows Close focus; empty space below the populated/zero-result panel is intended layout. F10 uses the first settled action frame because the exact transition boundary can still display the preceding caption. All original boundary samples are retained in the archive.

Checklists: [before-frame-checks.md](https://gh-file-drop-api-prod-mi5fy3sowv63ufte.pinglabs.workers.dev/f/a0a10173746d0756/before-frame-checks.md) · [after-frame-checks.md](https://gh-file-drop-api-prod-mi5fy3sowv63ufte.pinglabs.workers.dev/f/b83e99c1dd443ed6/after-frame-checks.md). The archive includes every decoded frame and the timestamp/frame mapping. [outcome-comparison.json](https://gh-file-drop-api-prod-mi5fy3sowv63ufte.pinglabs.workers.dev/f/2a0a97e9f056d556/outcome-comparison.json) records zero event/action outcome differences from round 1 on either side (12 events + 9 actions per side).

#### Before compact/dark

Each listed decoded MP4 frame opened and visually inspected. Clean means no compositor black bars, ghosted rail, stale tooltip/overlay pixels or unrendered blank regions. The visible Close tooltip follows actual Close focus. Large empty dark space below search results is the intended populated/zero-result panel.

### What else changed / recording differences

- Besides the requested non-Latin tuples, German `-` and AZERTY `!` physical Slash now trigger search; captured and logged in F01.
- Focus/caret, whole-query selection, and the evidence outline change together. The Close tooltip/focus ring can disappear when focus transfers to search. Compact expansion reveals search, section headings and labels, covers the Settings content, and hides the icon button. This is the intended transition, not a styling edit.
- F03 native insertion uses Chromium’s editing command, not a trusted text-key simulation. Before, Chromium refocuses its retained editor and appends at the old caret, producing themefont/no results; after, the selected query is replaced with font/five real font results.
- Ctrl+Shift+F opens the unchanged global project-search dialog and Ctrl+U opens unchanged Usage on both refs. These are not Settings search takeovers. The verified negative chapter dismisses each before the next reset.
- Headers, side labels, commit SHAs, timestamps and durations differ by recording. The pointer can give a row a transient hover as compact navigation expands; tooltips and transient focus highlights depend on actual focus. Blurred backdrop tab/sidebar labels can differ between the two fresh app sessions; no conversation data is present. No other Settings layout, colors, catalog contents, or controls were observed to change.
- There are no standalone before/after still proof pairs, so no still diff images are claimed. Decoded inspection sheets in the archive are recording review aids, not replacements for interaction evidence.

### Unverified / waived rows

| Row | Reason not captured |
|---|---|
| F11 | Matrix waiver: unchanged section/path/hash variants; F10 does exercise the real Themes target jump. |
| F12 | Matrix waiver: unchanged result lengths/count/ranking/clamp variants; actual theme and font catalogs are present in required rows. |
| F13 | Matrix waiver: unrelated footer auth/loading/account states. |
| F14 | Matrix waiver: unchanged platform/catalog availability filters. No Electron, native OS or mobile claim. |
| F15 | Matrix waiver: remaining breakpoint/theme cross-product; minimum wide/light and compact/dark are captured. |
| F16 | Matrix waiver: unchanged disconnected/scope/listener-teardown branches. |

Supplemental fabricated TEXTAREA/contenteditable, exact role=dialog and aria-modal selector variants were not used; F07 and F08 use the required real app representatives. Native OS layout switching is unavailable on this VM.

AI-assisted; verified with the tests and tools listed above.

Cleanup verified for round 2: tracked server process groups **1091618** (before) and **1091619** (after) stopped; no live processes remain in those groups; ports **7490/8134/15530/16174** have no listeners. Playwright contexts/browsers and the owned Browser-panel tab are closed. `/home/ubuntu/wt/pr-33395-before` is removed; the after checkout is unchanged. No leases, commits, pushes or PR edits. [cleanup.txt](https://gh-file-drop-api-prod-mi5fy3sowv63ufte.pinglabs.workers.dev/f/c59503261e2f260c/cleanup.txt)

FRICTION (round 2):
- tool | Initial pairing/navigation raced the route transition; recording began only after authentication and network idle completed | wait for pairing completion before settings navigation.
- tool | Exact F10 boundary could retain the preceding step caption for one sampled frame | inspect a settled first-action frame as well as preserving the boundary sample.

FRICTION (round 1, retained):
- tool | Initial Browser navigation timed out while modules warmed; pairing needed UI submission | warm the app and confirm authentication before recording.
- tool | Browser evaluation and shell argument limits affected full log export | export event arrays in chunks and serialize compact JSON.
- runbook | Global Ctrl+Shift+F opens project search; Escape returns to commands before closing | focus the nested popup and press Escape twice, verifying removal.
- tool | Variable frame durations extended a retained frame across one edited join | normalize frame rate before trimming; all source recordings remain archived.

VERDICT: Compact round-2 replacement complete and all 52 decoded checks clean; F02/F04/F06/F09/F10 recaptured. Unchanged wide evidence plus these replacements covers F01–F10; F11–F16 remain waived and unverified.
