[FEATURE] [BUG] [ENHANCEMENT] Chrome Extension Not Dismissible - No way out.

Problem Statement

Using the shortcut Cmd + E on macOS successfully opens the Claude Chrome Extension side panel. However, pressing Cmd + E a second time does not close or toggle off the side panel. The panel "latches on" and the shortcut fails to "latch off," forcing users to manually close the panel with a mouse click. There is currently no keyboard-driven way to unlatch or dismiss the side panel.

Environment:

Chrome: Version 148.0.7778.168 (Official Build) (arm64)
macOS: 26.5 (25F71)

Proposed Solution

Implement a standard toggle behavior for the primary extension shortcut.

• If the Claude side panel is closed, the shortcut opens it.
• If the Claude side panel is open, the shortcut closes it.
• Alternatively, support the standard Esc (Escape) key to dismiss the panel when it has focus.

Alternative Solutions

The shortcut should act as a strict toggle flip-flop, allowing users to close the extension as easily as it was opened.
