[FEATURE] Android app Code mode: add keyboard shortcut to submit message (Bluetooth keyboard support)

Problem Statement
When using the Claude Android app in Code mode (left sidebar) with a Bluetooth keyboard, there is no keyboard shortcut to submit a message.
In regular Chat mode, pressing Enter sends the message. In Code mode, Enter inserts a newline (which makes sense for writing code), but there is no keyboard shortcut — Shift+Enter, Ctrl+Enter, etc. — to submit. The only way to send is to tap the on-screen send button.
This makes it impossible to complete a full workflow in Code mode using only a Bluetooth keyboard — the user must repeatedly reach for the screen to tap the send button.
Proposed Solution
Add a keyboard shortcut (e.g. Ctrl+Enter or Shift+Enter) that submits the message in Code mode without requiring a screen tap.
This is consistent with how many code editors and IDEs handle multi-line input — Enter for newline, Ctrl+Enter to submit.

Additional Context
Environment: Android app, Code mode (left sidebar), Bluetooth external keyboard (tablet use case)
Note: In Chat mode, Enter already works as a send shortcut. The same concept needs to be extended to Code mode with an appropriate key combination.
