Problem

The existing archive and delete thread actions cannot be assigned keyboard shortcuts. Keyboard users must use the thread menu to invoke them.

Change

Adds thread.archive and thread.delete as configurable commands for the current saved thread. Neither has a default shortcut; new bindings start with !terminalFocus. Both keyboard and menu actions use the same confirmation and lifecycle paths, including the destructive delete confirmation.

This is a focused configuration option for existing thread actions; it does not add a default binding or change the actions themselves. Related: #31126. An earlier proposal was closed without merging: #11651.

Verification

  • vp run check:changed passed: formatting, lint, knip, typechecking, changed-file tests (143 passed), and React compiler checks.
  • Shortcut resolution tests check that each command is unbound by default and that a binding with !terminalFocus resolves outside the terminal but not while the terminal is focused, following the existing Settle shortcut test.
  • Integrated manual client verification and before/after UI evidence have not been completed.

Built with GPT-6.1 Terra using the Codex harness in T3 Code.

Approvability

Verdict: Needs Human Approval

Macroscope's review found this PR requires human approval — Adds opt-in archive/delete shortcuts that respect existing confirmation settings. New bindings default to being inactive while the terminal is focused; that product-default choice requires human review.

Walkthrough

The change adds configurable thread.archive and thread.delete commands, applies terminal-focus conditions to new bindings, and connects the commands to actions in the active thread lifecycle. The action menu delegates archive and delete operations to confirmation methods.

Changes: Thread shortcuts

Layer / File(s) Summary
Register thread commands and defaults
packages/contracts/src/keybindings.ts, apps/web/src/components/settings/KeybindingsSettings.tsx, packages/contracts/src/keybindings.test.ts, apps/web/src/keybindings.test.ts, apps/web/src/components/settings/KeybindingsSettings.browser.test.tsx, docs/user/keybindings.md
The command list includes thread.archive and thread.delete. New bindings for these commands receive !terminalFocus unless the condition is edited manually. Tests cover command resolution and condition editing. Documentation describes the commands and their confirmation behavior.
Delegate menu actions through confirmation methods
apps/web/src/hooks/useThreadActions.ts, apps/web/src/hooks/useThreadActionMenu.ts, apps/web/src/hooks/useThreadActionMenu.test.ts
The action menu calls confirmation methods for archive and delete. The archive confirmation method checks permission and target availability, optionally prompts, and then delegates to archiving.
Run archive and delete from shortcuts
apps/web/src/components/chat/useThreadLifecycle.tsx
The thread lifecycle adds archive and delete shortcuts. Both check permissions and thread state, reject repeated or overlapping events, and clear the pending guard when the action settles.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

  • pingdotgg/t3code#26407: Reports terminal-focus interference with thread-level shortcuts; the new archive and delete bindings use a !terminalFocus condition by default.

Review comments at @apps/web/src/components/settings/KeybindingsSettings.tsx:
- Around line 1094-1096: In the command-selection flow that updates `whenDraft`,
track whether `!terminalFocus` was inserted automatically for `thread.archive`
or `thread.delete`; when another command is selected, remove that condition only
if it is still the unchanged preset, preserving any condition the user edited.

Review comments at @docs/user/keybindings.md:
- Line 159: Clarify the default `!terminalFocus` condition applies only to
bindings created in Settings. In the keybindings documentation, state that
entries added directly to `keybindings.json` without a `when` field also match
while the terminal is focused, and tell users to add `"when": "!terminalFocus"`
when they want to exclude terminal focus.

- Line 1096: Update the draft handling in KeybindingsSettings so an explicitly
cleared condition remains distinct from an untouched draft; when the user clears
the archive condition and selects delete, do not restore !terminalFocus and
preserve the selected Always behavior. Extend the existing browser test to cover
this transition.
