TROUBLESHOOTING
❇️ How can I adjust the keyboard shortcuts if they don't work or conflict with other functions' shortcuts?
▶️ You can use the hyperlinks on the extension's \"Hints\" page, or follow these steps to customize the shortcuts in your browser:
1️⃣ Locate the \"Manage extensions\" page (may vary depending on the browser)
2️⃣ Select \"Keyboard shortcuts\"
3️⃣ Click the input field and press the shortcut
4️⃣ For some browsers, you may need to change the scope to \"Global\"

❇️ How to Apply for a Gemini API Key (1 min):
▶️ Google AI Studio > Sign In > Consent to Legal Notice & Continue > Get API key > Create API key > Create API key in new project > Copy

❇️ Are there usage limits for the Gemini Summary feature?
▶️ According to the latest plan information from Google AI Studio, the Gemini (1.5 Flash) API free tier allows 15 requests per minute, 1,500 requests per day, and up to 1 million tokens per minute.

❇️ Will my personal records or API key be leaked?
▶️ No, all information is stored locally in your browser. As recommended by Google AI Studio, always use your API keys securely.
