User Story: As a user reading a document, I want to see a preview of a linked item (citation, cross-reference, URL) without leaving my current position.

Functional Requirements

Settings Toggle: Add a boolean toggle in Settings > Editor > Interactivity labeled "Enable Glimpse on Hover".

Trigger Mechanism:

Default behavior: No preview on simple hover (to avoid distraction).

Active behavior: Hold Ctrl (Windows/Linux) or Alt/Option (Mac) + Hover cursor over the link.

UI Component:

Display a small, floating popover (tooltip/card) near the cursor.

Content: Show the first paragraph/summary of the linked target or the bibliographic entry.

User Story: As a developer writing LaTeX, I want to quickly jump between the preview pane and the specific code block to make edits efficiently.

Functional Requirements

Shortcut: Ctrl + M

Behavior:

If the cursor is in the Preview/PDF view: Moves focus specifically to the corresponding line in the LaTeX source code (SyncTeX-like behavior).

If the cursor is already in the Code view: Centers the editor view on the current cursor position or jumps to the last active editing spot.

Comparison: Similar to the "Ctrl+J" AI Cursor Jump but dedicated to code structure navigation.

User Story: As a user, I want to maximize my workspace by auto-hiding the side panel, but occasionally pin it open for complex tasks.

Functional Requirements

Menu Bar Control: Add a "Pin/Unpin" icon (Pushpin 📌 or Freeze ❄️ icon) to the top navigation bar.

State A: Frozen (Pinned)

The side panel remains statically open.

Content to the right is resized to fit.

State B: Unfrozen (Auto-Hide)

The side panel is hidden by default.

Hover Trigger: Moving the mouse to the far left edge of the screen slides the panel out (overlay mode).

Close Trigger:

Clicking an item inside the panel.

Moving the cursor out of the panel area.

Clicking anywhere in the main editor.

User Story: As a user with an Indian keyboard layout, I need to prevent app shortcuts from conflicting with my standard typing characters (e.g., Alt+Shift+H).

Problem Analysis

Conflict: On certain Indian keyboard layouts, Alt + Shift + H is a system-level command to type a specific symbol (e.g., ‡ or similar). This conflicts with the app's default "Open Calendar" shortcut.

Proposed Solutions

Custom Keybinding UI: Allow users to remap Alt + Shift + H to a non-conflicting combination (e.g., Ctrl + Alt + C).

Conflict Feedback: If a user presses a key combo that generates a text character (like the symbol from the Indian layout) but is also a shortcut, show a "Conflict Detected" toast message.

Context Aware Shortcuts: Ensure text-input shortcuts take precedence when the editor is focused, while App shortcuts trigger only when the editor is not focused.
