First-run onboarding
A three-step welcome modal that introduces the three global hotkeys the first time you sign in.
The first time you sign in, Vavus shows a three-step welcome dialog explaining what each hotkey does. The dialog appears once per device and only the first time — you can always come back to the home dashboard for a similar overview.
- 1Progress dots
Three dots at the top show which step you're on. The current step is wider; previous steps are faded.
- 2Close (X)
Skip the rest of the onboarding. The dialog is dismissed for good — it won't pop up again.

- 5Step 3 — Reverse translate (Ctrl+R)
Translate clipboard text back to your source language — useful for reading replies you've received.
