keymap_ui: Dual-phase focus for keystroke input (#34312)
Closes #ISSUE

An idea I and @MrSubidubi came up with, to improve UX around the
keystroke input.

Currently, there's a hard tradeoff with what to focus first in the edit
keybind modal, if we focus the keystroke input, it makes keybind
modification very easy, however, if you don't want to edit a keybind,
you must use the mouse to escape the keystroke input before editing
something else - breaking keyboard navigation.

The idea in this PR is to have a dual-phased focus system for the
keystroke input. There is an outer focus that has some sort of visual
indicator to communicate it is focused (currently a border). While the
outer focus region is focused, keystrokes are not intercepted. Then
there is a keybind (currently hardcoded to `enter`) to enter the inner
focus where keystrokes are intercepted, and which must be exited using
the mouse. When the inner focus region is focused, there is a visual
indicator for the fact it is "recording" (currently a hacked together
red pulsing recording icon)

Licensing

License information for third party dependencies must be correctly provided for CI to pass.

We use cargo-about to automatically comply with open source licenses. If CI is failing, check the following:

  • Is it showing a no license specified error for a crate you've created? If so, add publish = false under [package] in your crate's Cargo.toml.
  • Is the error failed to satisfy license requirements for a dependency? If so, first determine what license the project has and whether this system is sufficient to comply with this license's requirements. If you're unsure, ask a lawyer. Once you've verified that this system is acceptable add the license's SPDX identifier to the accepted array in script/licenses/zed-licenses.toml.
  • Is cargo-about unable to find the license for a dependency? If so, add a clarification field at the end of script/licenses/zed-licenses.toml, as specified in the cargo-about book.
