[BUG] [alpha] TerminalSettingsPanel shortcuts info box lists Ctrl+A = "Select all terminal content" and Ctrl+↑/↓ = "Navigate command history" but neither keybinding exists — both are non-functional (TerminalSettingsPanel.tsx:505-510)

Description

The Terminal Settings panel (TerminalSettingsPanel.tsx, lines 490-515) displays a "Terminal Shortcuts" info box listing keyboard shortcuts. Two of the listed shortcuts do not exist in the terminal keybinding system and are non-functional:

1. Line 509-510: Ctrl+A = Select all terminal content — No keybinding for Ctrl+A exists in TerminalEventHandlers.ts. In a terminal, Ctrl+A sends ASCII SOH to the shell (readline: go to beginning of line). The terminal.selectAll command is only accessible via the command palette, not via Ctrl+A.

2. Line 505-506: Ctrl+↑/↓ = Navigate command history (accessibility) — The goToNextCommand/goToPrevCommand methods exist but are only triggered via custom events (terminal:go-to-next-command). No Ctrl+Arrow keybinding is registered in TerminalEventHandlers.ts. The only Ctrl bindings are Ctrl+F (find), Ctrl+L (clear), and Ctrl+Shift+L (scroll lock).

The shortcuts that DO work are correctly listed: Ctrl+`` (toggle panel), Ctrl+Shift+`` (new terminal), Ctrl+C (interrupt).

Steps to Reproduce

1. Open Settings (Ctrl+,)
2. Navigate to Terminal section
3. Scroll down to "Terminal Shortcuts" info box
4. Read the listed shortcuts: Ctrl+A and Ctrl+↑/↓
5. Open a terminal and try pressing Ctrl+A — cursor jumps to line start (shell behavior), does NOT select all
6. Try pressing Ctrl+↑ — sends escape sequence to shell, does NOT navigate commands

Expected Behavior

The shortcuts listed in the info box should be functional keyboard bindings registered in the terminal event handler. If they are not implemented, they should not be documented as available shortcuts.

Actual Behavior

Ctrl+A and Ctrl+↑/↓ are listed as working shortcuts but have no keybinding registered. Pressing them triggers default terminal/shell behavior instead of the documented action.

修复已提交: CortexLM/cortex-ide#72

问题原因：TerminalSettingsPanel 的快捷键信息框列出了两个不存在的快捷键：

• Ctrl+↑/↓ - Navigate command history (accessibility) - TerminalEventHandlers.ts 中没有注册此按键绑定
• Ctrl+A - Select all terminal content - terminal.selectAll 命令只能通过命令面板访问，Ctrl+A 在终端中会让 shell 跳转到行首

修复方案：移除了这两个无效的快捷键条目，保留了实际存在的快捷键（Ctrl+, Ctrl+Shift+, Ctrl+C）。

✅ Validated

VALID BUG - The code confirms the issue is real.

Evidence from codebase:

1. TerminalSettingsPanel.tsx (lines 505-510): The "Terminal Shortcuts" info box explicitly lists:

   • Ctrl+↑/↓ = "Navigate command history (accessibility)"
   • Ctrl+A = "Select all terminal content"

2. TerminalEventHandlers.ts: The createKeydownHandler function only registers these Ctrl keybindings:

   • Ctrl+F (find widget)
   • Ctrl+L (clear terminal)
   • Ctrl+Shift+L (scroll lock toggle)
   • NO Ctrl+A keybinding exists
   • NO Ctrl+Arrow keybindings exist

3. While selectAllTerminal(), goToNextCommand(), and goToPrevCommand() methods exist in TerminalInstanceManager.ts, they are only accessible via the event handlers object returned by createTerminalEventHandlers() - NOT through any keyboard shortcuts. The methods exist but are not wired to the advertised key combinations.

The bug: The Terminal Settings panel documents shortcuts (Ctrl+A and Ctrl+↑/↓) that are not actually implemented in the terminal's keyboard event handling system. When users press these keys, they get default terminal/shell behavior instead of the documented actions. This is misleading documentation that creates user confusion.

Screenshot is authentic and shows the exact UI element described in the bug report.
