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.

  1. 1
    Progress dots

    Three dots at the top show which step you're on. The current step is wider; previous steps are faded.

  2. 2
    Close (X)

    Skip the rest of the onboarding. The dialog is dismissed for good — it won't pop up again.

  3. 3
    Step 1 — Dictate anywhere (Ctrl+D)

    Hold Ctrl+D to record. Release to paste the transcription into the focused text field.

  4. 4
    Step 2 — Translate on the fly (Ctrl+T)

    Select text in any app, then press Ctrl+T. Your translation is pasted automatically.

  5. 5
    Step 3 — Reverse translate (Ctrl+R)

    Translate clipboard text back to your source language — useful for reading replies you've received.

  6. 6
    Next / Get started

    Advance to the next step. On the final step the button reads "Get started" and dismisses the dialog.
