[FEATURE] chat:insetSequence Chat action keybinding
Preflight Checklist
- [x] I have searched existing requests and this feature hasn't been requested yet
- [x] This is a single feature request (not multiple features)
Problem Statement
I would like the ability to bind key sequences to unicode characters, newlines, etc. I find the current mechanisms of largely having to copy-paste in these situations as way less economical than other apps I use. It also forces me our of Claude Code and into other tools.
Proposed Solution
create an action in the chat contest of keybindings, with a similar pattern to chat:insertSequence('...').
Alternative Solutions
There are many alternatives to the string "insertSequence", maybe insertString, insertChar, insertRune, etc. It's mostly important that it matches what the input is.
Priority
High - Significant impact on productivity
