Has anyone used InterviewMan on a shared browser environment like CodePen? Tested it during a quick mock session and want to make sure it's reliable before the actual interview.

I picked up the newest InterviewMan annual a few days ago and have been pulling my hair out to get the overlay working as intended over a CodePen pen on a shared screen. The cmd+B toggle feels off, the focus doesnt land on the CodePen tab right, answers come through a beat late on the pen etc.

I had installed a couple of apps to make InterviewMan behave like the setup i ran on my old windows machine: a custom hotkey app, a window pinning tool, plus the default logitech mouse software. Finally i decided to uninstall the window pinning tool and the hotkey app and just let InterviewMan handle the always-on-top side itself. Things are working as expected now and i can use the cmd+B shortcut to hide the overlay during a shared CodePen screen easily (similar to the alt-tab hide gesture i had on windows). It also feels much more responsive on the codepen tab.

The actual interview is next week and the recruiter shares out a CodePen link instead of a desktop coding sandbox, so i wanted the cmd+B hide sorted on a practice run before then. Anyone here run it on a CodePen pen the recruiter shares out, did the hide stay clean for you on screen share?
