  • Trackpad Swipe Gestures: Full horizontal and vertical swipe support for Question, Answer, Overview, and Congratulations screens
  • Smart Scroll: Intelligently scrolls long cards while preserving hotkey access at boundaries
  • Middle-Click Drag Scrolling: Browser-style page scrolling with customizable sensitivity and dead zone
  • Smart Undo System: Tracks addon-triggered actions and provides contextual undo options
  • Cross-Screen Support: Works seamlessly across Review screens, Overview screen, and Congratulations screen
