Problem Statement
The placeholder text "ctrl esc to focus or unfocus Claude" appears permanently
in the input field. For users who already know the shortcut, this text is
distracting and cannot be hidden.

Add a settings.json option such as "inputPlaceholderEnabled": false
to allow users to disable the placeholder text in the input field.
