> [!NOTE]
> Adds Cmd/Ctrl + . shortcut to cycle chat modes via a new hook, and
updates the mode selector tooltip to show the shortcut.
> 
> - **UX/Hotkey**:
> - Introduces `useChatModeToggle` to cycle `settings.selectedChatMode`
(captures `chat:mode_toggle`), with platform detection
(`detectIsMac`/`useIsMac`) and `useShortcut` binding for `Cmd/Ctrl + .`.
> - **Integrations**:
> - Wires `useChatModeToggle()` into `components/chat/ChatInput.tsx` and
`components/chat/HomeChatInput.tsx` to enable the shortcut in chat
inputs.
> - **UI**:
> - Enhances `components/ChatModeSelector.tsx` tooltip to display the
platform-specific shortcut hint (`⌘ + .` or `Ctrl + .`).
