Subject: [PATCH 1/3] fix: add Alt modifier to inspect hotkey default to avoid
 browser conflicts

The previous default (Shift + CtrlOrMeta) overlaps with browser shortcuts
for opening links in new tabs (Ctrl/Cmd + Shift + Click in Chrome, Edge,
Safari). Adding Alt/Option as a third modifier avoids all known OS, browser,
and common web app shortcut collisions.
