Problem

The only key handler on Live is Escape (LiveView.tsx:188). On phones the map is a fixed h-[55vh] (LiveView.tsx:276) with panel, ticker and scrubber stacked beneath, the LayersControl is a tiny desktop widget, and there is no geolocate.

Who asked

HOBBY, FD (phone in the chief's buggy), NEWS (3 of 8).

Proposal

Keys: j/k next/prev incident, Enter drill, Esc up, / search, space play latest call, 1-9 layers, f fit all, t tour, c copy link, ? cheat sheet.
Mobile: full-bleed map, draggable bottom sheet for rail/detail, large layer chips, 'near me' (Geolocation API, not stored) with a radius filter; ticker and scrubber behind a tap.

Data source and terms

Browser APIs only.

Acceptance criteria

Every listed action is reachable without a mouse.
At 390 px width the map fills the viewport with no horizontal scroll.
