What Anti-Focus Overlay does

Anti-Focus Overlay is the built-in presentation behavior for LowLighter's answer surface. The response stays visible above the work you were doing while the foreground application remains the place where keyboard input is directed.

There is no separate Anti-Focus switch in Settings. It is part of the answer-surface workflow, including the standard response surface and the protected presentation used by Phantom.

Interact with the visible response

Read the response

Move over the visible answer surface to interact with its content without turning it into a focused editor.

Move the surface

Drag the answer surface when it covers useful content. Its saved placement is documented in Move the answer box.

Scroll the content

Scroll inside a long response to read more while keeping the underlying application available.

Use an answer action

Right-click to copy the response, or use StealthType when that Phantom control is enabled.

Let the surface close

Click without dragging to dismiss the response, or use the Auto-dismiss interval configured in Settings.
