In `@backend/src/db/daos/sceneDao.js`:
- Around line 101-126: Update createScene to call
assertUniqueKeyBindings(scene.components, scene.directLink, scene.directLinkKey)
immediately after assertDirectLinkInScenario, before saving the scene, so
creation enforces the same binding validation as patchScene.
- Around line 383-390: Validate that no component ID appears in both
deletedComponentIds and components before deriving effectiveComponents; reject
the request when an overlap exists, then preserve the existing filtering and
merge behavior for valid inputs.
- Around line 375-403: Make the scene update flow containing
assertUniqueKeyBindings atomic through persistence by using an optimistic scene
revision check or a database transaction spanning the scene read, validation,
and write. Ensure concurrent patches cannot both validate against the same stale
scene and commit conflicting bindings, and add an integration test covering
concurrent scene updates.
In `@frontend/src/features/authoring/CanvasSideBar/SceneSettings.jsx`:
- Around line 267-269: Update the direct-link selector’s onChange handler to
clear directLinkKey whenever targetId is null, matching the existing toggle
behavior near line 219, while preserving the selected target’s current key.
In `@frontend/src/features/authoring/CanvasSideBar/useDirectLink.js`:
- Around line 23-25: Update the effect that clears direct-link properties so its
dependency array includes both directLink and directLinkKey, ensuring it reruns
when switching between disabled scenes and removes stale values.
In `@frontend/src/features/authoring/keyBindings.ts`:
- Around line 40-45: Update normalizeEventKey to reject Shift-modified keyboard
events by including e.shiftKey in the existing modifier check, while preserving
the current normalization behavior for unmodified input.

Make binding validation and persistence atomic.
Two concurrent patches can read the same scene, both pass assertUniqueKeyBindings, and then persist the same key on different components. This defeats the server-side collision guarantee.
Use an optimistic scene revision or a transaction that covers the read, validation, and write sequence. Add a concurrent-patch integration test.

Shift+S, Shift+Space, and Shift+ArrowRight currently normalize to their unmodified bindings. Add e.shiftKey to the modifier check.

LGTM! But I have found some bug which should be easy to fix hopeful.

There is a bug where the key hint doesn't show

This happens only when you copy paste components

Possible concern, the hint shows uppercase letters but bindings can only be lowercase letter

When you create these links to a slide and you delete the slides, keybinds dont get unset

erm i can't recreate this? whenever i copy paste a component it removes the key binding (intentional). could u walk me through how to get this?

Lowkey don't know how this work ngl so the next person please review this :)

Can you also check that if there is a button which goes to the same scene if it resets state variable to default values?

Please bring this up in the next meeting but we need to disable the create button after each click because otherwise you can click it 500 bilion times and it creates 500 billion new pages with the same name

Addressed the review comments and fixed a few related bugs found while going through this.
Added tests for the new scene-deletion cleanup; all existing tests still pass. |

Issue
Buttons in a scenario could only ever be activated by mouse click. There was no way for an author to navigate with their keyboard apart from the "Direct Link" button which had its limitations. The existing "Direct Link" advance-to-next-scene feature was hardcoded to always respond to Space or the right arrow key with no way to customize it.
Solution
[W]) can be shown next to a bound button, with a configurable position (6 spots around the button), visible both in the authoring canvas and during actual play.assertUniqueKeyBindingsinsceneDao.patchScene) rejects any save that would leave two components, or a component and the direct link, bound to the same key.Risk
Scene.directLinkKeyis a new, additive schema field (defaults tonull); no data migration is needed sincenull/unset still means "respond to Space or Right Arrow," exactly matching every existing scene's current behavior.assertUniqueKeyBindingscheck is a new 400 rejection path, which is a scene patch that would create a key collision now fails at save time instead of silently succeeding. This is intentional (data integrity), but is a new failure mode; worth confirming the frontend surfaces a clear error rather than a generic "something went wrong" toast if it's ever hit in practice.Checklist
