Closes#211. Copying from the terminal only worked through the browser
context menu, because xterm turns Ctrl+C into 0x03 and cancels the keydown,
so the muscle-memory copy failed silently and read as "no copy-paste at all".
With a selection, Ctrl+C now copies it, toasts, clears the selection and
sends nothing to the PTY. With no selection it falls through unchanged, so
the interrupt is intact. Ctrl+Shift+C is an explicit copy chord that never
falls through: an explicit copy that interrupts a running agent because the
selection happened to be empty would be a footgun.
Three details that keep the interrupt safe:
- The decision lives in attachCustomKeyEventHandler (terminal-ui.js) and the
no-selection path returns true WITHOUT preventDefault. xterm calls the
custom handler before its own cancel(), so returning false alone does not
cancel the event; the copy path therefore calls preventDefault explicitly,
or the browser would run its native copy on top of ours.
- copy-selection is a full registry entry (rebindable and disableable in App
Settings) whose action is deliberately absent from SHORTCUT_ACTIONS, the
same trick command-palette uses: the generic capture loop preventDefaults
every match it dispatches, which would cost the user the interrupt key.
- The gate is keydown-only, since the custom handler also runs for keypress
and keyup.
Copy goes through _copyText (Clipboard API, then hidden-textarea +
execCommand) rather than raw navigator.clipboard, because install.sh's LAN
option serves plain HTTP where navigator.clipboard is undefined; the
fallback steals focus, so the terminal is refocused afterwards.
Tests: test/terminal-copy-selection.test.ts pins the gate and the
SHORTCUT_ACTIONS invariant; test/terminal-copy-shortcut.test.ts drives real
key presses in chromium and asserts on the clipboard plus the bytes xterm
emitted (browser-driven, so excluded from test:ci like the other Playwright
suites). Verified manually on an isolated beta instance before landing.

- Session Manager (COD-121/192): align _loadSessionManagerList() with the
merged #139 endpoint — map UnifiedSessionItem fields (lastActivityAt
epoch-ms → lastModified, optional sizeBytes/firstPrompt/name) to the
history-record shape _buildHistoryItem renders; surface non-2xx /
error-envelope responses as a visible message instead of a silent
"No sessions found"; route clicks by liveness (live row → selectSession,
history row → resumeHistorySession by conversation UUID) via a new
onActivate option so a live session is never duplicate-resumed
- Ctrl+K double-dispatch: gate the palette chord in
attachCustomKeyEventHandler (return false on keydown) so xterm never
writes 0x0b kill-line into the PTY while the palette opens; gate is
registry-aware so a rebound/disabled palette shortcut restores normal
terminal Ctrl+K
- Shortcut registry (COD-157) finished per maintainer decision: document
keydown now dispatches through getShortcutRegistry() +
matchesShortcutEvent() (legacy SHORTCUTS table removed), honoring
per-shortcut disable and rebinds incl. the palette chord; overrides
persist via saveAppSettingsToStorage() (correct device key + cache
coherence, was orphaned 'codeman:settings'); Shortcuts tab renders on
open via switchSettingsTab hook; capture uses a persistent listener that
ignores bare modifier keydowns (combos now capturable) and requires a
Ctrl/Cmd/Alt chord; settings rows use delegated listeners instead of
inline onclick (JS-string injection sink) and overrides can no longer
clobber id/label/action; added the missing row + overlay CSS
- matchesShortcutEvent: reject undeclared extra modifiers (Ctrl+Shift+K
no longer hijacked from Firefox devtools) while keeping Ctrl/Cmd
interchangeable; match physical code OR produced key for layout parity
- Registry/dispatch gaps: added restore-terminal-size entry, documented
Ctrl+Shift+R again in the help modal (test flipped to assert presence),
Ctrl+?/Alt+? now really open the registry-driven shortcut overlay, and
Escape closes it
- Palette new-session pick routes through selectQuickStartCase() so the
searchable combobox, dir display, and lastUsedCase stay in sync
- Removed fork cherry-pick debris: dead _onSessionListMaybeChanged(),
orphaned .session-row-menu CSS, nonexistent closeMobileHeaderUtilities
calls
- Tests: functional vm-harness coverage for the unified-list field
mapping + error state + liveness routing, palette chord shift/disable/
rebind handling, override persistence round-trip, capture flow, tab
render hook, and source guards for the PTY gate + registry dispatch

The PR migrated the app.js tab-nav handler to physical e.code but left xterm's
pass-through gate (terminal-ui.js) matching ev.key digits. Consequences:
- Alt+[ / Alt+] (the new bindings) were never in the gate, so xterm sent ESC[ / ESC]
to the PTY on every platform AS WELL AS switching the session.
- Alt+digit on a remapped macOS Option layout (Option+1 -> "¡") didn't match the
ev.key '0'-'9' gate either, so xterm injected ESC<char> — on exactly the layouts
this PR exists to fix.
Update the xterm gate to mirror app.js exactly: suppress when
`ev.altKey && !ctrl && !shift && /^(Digit[1-9]|BracketLeft|BracketRight)$/.test(ev.code)`.
Returning false there tells xterm not to write to the PTY, so the shortcut switches
the tab with no stray escape sequence.
Also: relabel the docs Alt/Option (the mechanism is layout/OS-independent, so the
shortcut works for Linux/Windows Alt users too — "Option" alone was Mac-only wording),
and add a keyboard-shortcuts test asserting terminal-ui.js gates on the same physical
codes so this desync can't regress (a grep the original test missed).
Verified: keyboard-shortcuts test 4/4, check:frontend-syntax, check:public-assets,
format:check all clean.

Tab-switch shortcuts matched e.key, so on macOS Option+1 emits a special
character ('¡', not '1') and the shortcut silently failed. Switch to physical
e.code (Digit1-9), which is layout-independent. Also adds Option+[ / Option+]
for previous / next session. Help modal + README updated.
Test: test/keyboard-shortcuts.test.ts.
