Can I hide shortcut hints in the main window?

Section titled “Can I hide shortcut hints in the main window?”

Yes. Open Settings -> Shortcuts and turn off shortcut hints if you want a cleaner live interface or documentation screenshot.

Start with toggle recording, capture screenshot, toggle analysis, toggle window, and toggle click-through. Those controls cover the most common live-session recovery paths.
