The shell overlay is toggled by Control + backtick. The registered app route provides the same product concept as a normal OS window.
Placement
Display Options exposes "Slidepad corner" with top-left, top-right, bottom-left, and bottom-right. The default is bottom-left.
The overlay uses the core workspace rectangle instead of the full browser viewport, so the panel avoids the Alma side when the rail is enabled.
Boundary
Slidepad is not a browser extension and does not intercept arbitrary third-party page clicks. It is an OS shell quick panel. Future browser extension or desktop-client helpers may add richer capture and routing behavior, but the browser shell should stay honest about its limits.
