Opensidian: Keyboard shortcut hint displays Cmd + (backtick) but only Ctrl + functions #1718

Bug Description

Bug:

The UI/documentation suggests that users should use Cmd + (backtick) to toggle the terminal. However, this command does not trigger the terminal action. Instead, the terminal only responds to Ctrl + (backtick).

Expected behavior:

If the application is intended to support both shortcuts, both should function. If only one is intended for the specific OS, the UI hint should dynamically update to reflect the working keybinding (e.g., showing Cmd on macOS and Ctrl on Windows/Linux).

Steps to reproduce:

  1. Open the application.
  2. Observe the shortcut hint/tooltip for "Toggle Terminal" (shows `Cmd + ``).
  3. Press `Cmd + `` on the keyboard (observe no response).
  4. Press `Ctrl + `` on the keyboard (observe the terminal toggles correctly).

Additional context:

It appears both ctrl and cmd may be defined in the codebase for this action, but there is a conflict or a failure in the mapping that prevents the Command key from registering the toggle.
