Description
Closes #1058
This PR adds a keyboard shortcut
Alt(Option)+Shift+Cto toggle the Component Inspector, solving the pain point where clicking to activate the inspector causes pop-ups/overlays to close.Motivation
Many UI libraries auto-close pop-ups on outside click. When using the Component Inspector to locate components inside these pop-ups, clicking activates the inspector but simultaneously closes the pop-up. A keyboard shortcut avoids this issue entirely.

Note
The issue author also mentioned customizable shortcuts. Since all existing shortcuts in the project (
Alt+Shift+D,Escape) are hardcoded, adding customization would require architectural changes (e.g. passing user config through virtual modules to runtime). This can be addressed in a follow-up PR if needed.
