Keyboard shortcuts, updates & permissions

This page is the quick reference: keyboard shortcuts, how updates arrive, and what each permission is used for. Installation lives in the Installation guide; the full zero-to-report flow is in 5-minute quick start: your first report.

Keyboard shortcuts

In the extension popup (just press — no clicking needed):

Key	Action
S	Start a screenshot immediately
R	Start a recording immediately

In the screenshot / annotation editor:

Key	Action
Enter	Confirm the selected region and move into annotation
Ctrl / ⌘ + Z	Undo the last annotation
Ctrl / ⌘ + Y	Redo
Ctrl / ⌘ + Enter	Share (submit the report)
Esc	Exit the editor (asks for confirmation first)

While typing a text annotation: Enter places the text on the image, Esc cancels this text input.

Updates

• Store installs update automatically — nothing to do. Keep “allow automatic updates” enabled on the extensions page
• To check the current version: the extension’s own Settings page shows it under “About”, or look at the card on chrome://extensions / edge://extensions
• Manual (offline) installs do not auto-update — see “Updating a manual install” in the Installation guide

Permissions

Every permission the extension requests has a concrete purpose — there is no over-collection:

Permission	What it is for
Read and change data on the sites you visit	Screenshot, annotation and technical-context collection need to work on the current page; only active when you launch the extension
Tab capture	Records the current tab’s frames; the recorder runs in a separate offscreen document, so the page itself is untouched
Read your browsing activity	Keeps recording alive when you navigate to another page mid-recording
Read and change cookies (console domain only)	Only to recognize your console session (app.bugcapturer.com) and keep the extension in sync with the web app
Local storage	Stores your preferences and recent history — data stays on your machine
Context menus	Lets you start a capture from the right-click menu on any page
Downloads	Exports screenshots and recordings as local files

Privacy commitment

All of the above happens locally in your browser. Nothing leaves the device until you actively share or submit a report. See Data flow, storage & retention.
