New-thread shortcuts only work when the prompt composer is focused #1812
On Linux BB Desktop 0.38.0, the new-thread shortcuts only work while the prompt composer has focus.
Steps to reproduce
Open a project thread.
Click the project bar, sidebar, or timeline so the prompt box is no longer focused.
Press Ctrl+N or Ctrl+Shift+O.
Nothing happens.
Click inside the prompt composer and press either shortcut again.
The new-thread composer opens.
Expected behavior
Both new-thread shortcuts should work across BB's main surface, regardless of whether the project bar, sidebar, timeline, or prompt composer currently has focus.
Notes
The effective keybindings report thread.new with the mainSurface context and only exclude modalOpen, so the observed composer-only behavior appears narrower than the declared context.

Additional scope detail from testing:
These commands declare the same
mainSurfacecontext, so this may affect a subset of command dispatch paths rather than the entire keybinding handler.Keep app shortcuts alive next to a retained closed drawer (#1812)
