 8. With a card focused, use Left/Right, Page Up/Page Down, Home, and End; confirm selection and focus move together across the shelf.

 10. Right-click a filtered result and choose Show in Clipboard, or press `Command + G`, and confirm search clears while the same card stays selected in Most Recent.
