+- **Pass options as a function.** `{ enabled: this.isDirty() }` is read once, in the constructor. Use `() => ({ ... })`.
+- **Pass the `viewChild` signal as `target`, not its value.** `this.panel()` in the constructor is `undefined`, and an undefined target means `document`. `{ target: this.panel }` waits for the element.
+- **An exclusive provider with no hotkeys never activates.** Angular creates providers lazily. Call `injectHotkeysContext()` in the component's constructor to activate the scope.
 - **Replace `@HostListener('document:keydown')` and `(keydown.control.s)` bindings with `injectHotkey`.**
 - **Register runtime lists in the constructor.** `injectHotkey` throws outside an injection context, such as in `ngOnInit`. For hotkeys from data, use `injectHotkeys(() => this.items().map(...))`.
 - **Call the inject functions directly.** A shortcut service or `injectShortcut(keys: string)` wrapper has to cast strings to hotkeys, which turns off type checking and drops sequences, signal options, and app hotkeys.
+- **Server-rendered labels need the user's platform.** On the server, `formatForDisplay` can't see the user's OS, so it renders Linux labels that differ after hydration for Mac and Windows users. Pass `provideHotkeys({ defaultOptions: () => ({ platform: detectPlatform(inject(REQUEST)?.headers.get('user-agent')) }) })`, and format labels with `format = injectFormatForDisplay()` as a field, then `format(hotkey)` in the template. Keep plain `formatForDisplay` for labels that render only in the browser.
 
 When declaring app hotkeys, building a cheat sheet, or letting users rebind shortcuts, load `@tanstack/hotkeys#app-hotkeys` and read [app hotkeys in Angular](references/app-hotkeys.md).
