A new 'Pane' keyboard-focus context covers when a plugin's own pane is focused
What
Claude Code's keybinding system has a new focus context called Pane, active when a plugin's pane has keyboard focus. This joins existing contexts like Chat and AbovePrompt, which determine which keyboard shortcuts apply depending on where focus currently is.
Why
This lets keybindings be scoped specifically to plugin panes, so shortcuts can behave differently when a plugin's own interface is focused versus the main chat.
