  const editable = e.target.isContentEditable || tag === 'input' || tag === 'textarea';
  if (e.key === '/' && !editable && !e.ctrlKey && !e.metaKey) {
    e.preventDefault();
    const ev = new KeyboardEvent('keydown', { key: 'k', ctrlKey: true, bubbles: true });
    document.dispatchEvent(ev);
  }
