### Walkthrough vs practice

- The **walkthrough** is a checklist of real browsing actions. Progress is stored in your Chrome profile and can be reset from the tutorial entry points.
- The **practice panel** appears with the text-box slide so you can enter focus with <kbd>F</kbd>, type normally, and leave with <kbd>Esc</kbd>.

### Other entry points

- Extension **popup** → Tutorial
- **Guide** popover → Launch Walkthrough
- Keyboard Reference dropdown → Onboarding Tutorial
- <kbd>Alt</kbd>+<kbd>T</kbd> shows or hides the walkthrough without resetting progress

</div>

### If nothing happens

- Confirm KeyPilot is enabled (<kbd>Alt</kbd>+<kbd>K</kbd>).
- Confirm you are not on `chrome://` or the Web Store.
- Open Keyboard Reference and check that your layout still assigns the key you pressed.
