Closes #64338 The pending keystrokes indicator now shows chords without a timeout, with no countdown circle. For example, pressing `cmd-k` shows that Zed is waiting for another key. Few cases which needed special handling for untimed chords case: - Hovering already pauses a timed chord, and GPUI preserves that pause when the chord advances. An untimed chord has no paused timeout to carry forward. We pause its newly created timeout if the pointer is still over the indicator or popover. - For timed chords, the timeout already stays paused during the popover's 300 ms dismissal delay. If an untimed chord gains a timeout during that delay, it now follows the same rule. The popover still closes at the original deadline, then the timeout resumes with a full second remaining. <img width="308" height="182" alt="CleanShot 2026-09-17 at 11 45 33 AM@2x" src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/9baa5fde-de9b-447d-9b02-b712a3065685" /> Release Notes: - Improved the pending keystrokes indicator to show chords without a timeout, such as shortcuts starting with `cmd-k`.
