Common Questions (Q&A):

1. Q: How do I import tasks from the ToDo tool into the Pomodoro queue?
   A: In 'Goblin Slayer ToDo', click 'Import to Pomodoro Queue' in the subtask area. Items will be imported into the Pomodoro Runner task queue in the current order.
2. Q: Can it automatically start the break or the next session when time is up?
   A: Yes. Configure short/long break durations and the long-break interval in Settings, and enable 'Auto start next phase'. After focus ends, it enters break automatically and can auto start the next session.
3. Q: Will timing or data be lost if I refresh or close the page?
   A: No. The queue, settings and running state are persisted to IndexedDB. If you refresh during a focus session, the remaining time and current phase will be restored automatically.
4. Q: How to enable sound alerts and system notifications?
   A: Enable 'Sound Alert' in Settings and adjust volume/frequency. For system notifications, the browser will request permission on first use; allow it to receive notifications at phase end.
5. Q: What keyboard shortcuts are available?
   A: Space: start/pause; S: skip current phase; C: complete current phase; R: reset current task; F: toggle fullscreen.
6. Q: Is fullscreen big-digits display supported?
   A: Yes. Click the 'Fullscreen' button or press F to enter/exit fullscreen. It's great for presentation, meetings or distant viewing.
7. Q: How do I reset or skip the current task?
   A: Press R to reset the current task to its initial remaining time; press S to skip the current phase and go directly to the next phase/next task.
