[Bug] Ctrl+O triggers transcript view, not real-time verbose toggle - missing keyboard shortcut for live verbose output

Bug Description

There are two distinct verbose-related features that appear conflated in documentation and help text:

1. Real-time verbose output - enabled via /config → "Verbose output", --verbose flag, or settings.json. Shows detailed tool usage inline as Claude works.

1. Transcript mode (Ctrl+O) - a separate historical view that takes over the screen and shows past session details, not real-time output.

Problems:

1. Missing feature: There's no keyboard shortcut to toggle real-time verbose output on/off while Claude is actively working. Users who want to quickly enable/disable verbose streaming during a session cannot do so without restarting with --verbose or changing /config.

1. Misleading help text: The ? help menu shows Ctrl+O as "Toggle verbose output" but it actually triggers transcript mode - a completely different full-screen historical view.

1. Documentation gap: Issue #5068 noted that transcript mode lacks documentation. The distinction between these two features is not explained anywhere.

Expected behavior:

• A keyboard shortcut (perhaps Ctrl+O or another key) should toggle real-time verbose output on/off during active Claude execution
• Transcript mode should have a different shortcut or be accessible via slash command
• Help text should accurately describe what each shortcut does
