Research direction

The issue does not name files, tests, or an entry point beyond the existing /sessions command. Start by locating the session picker and current keyboard input handling, then determine whether the shortcut should open the picker, switch directly, or support both. Done means a documented shortcut reliably enables session switching without typing /sessions, with coverage for the chosen behavior.
