Contributor guide

Research direction
Inspect the keyboard event handling logic in the extension's content script. Look for where keydown/keyup events are processed and consider adding a check to ignore the keyboard layout by using event.code instead of event.key. Also, study how existing settings are implemented (e.g., in options page) to replicate the pattern.
