Shortcuts now live on one Settings surface. Each row shows the action, assigned keys, and enabled state, while its category tells you whether it works at all times, during a conversation, or in tools used outside a conversation or session.

### Open Shortcuts and continue to conversation-only actions in one flow

The `Always` and `During conversation` groups make each shortcut’s usage condition visible in the list. The first two steps open Shortcuts and show the complete list; the next two continue to conversation-dependent actions and `Paste Pending Speech`, which is available only while a conversation exists.

*Open Shortcuts in 1–2, then continue to the conversation group and ⌥V in 3–4.*
