Problem Statement
Feature Request
In the Claude Code desktop app, the session/thread titles in the left panel have a three-dots (...) button that appears on hover, or can be accessed via right-click. This opens a context menu with actions like rename, delete, and archive.
Currently, there is no keyboard shortcut to trigger this menu. You must use the mouse to hover and click the three-dots button, or right-click the title.
Requested Behavior
Add a keyboard shortcut (or make it bindable via ~/.claude/keybindings.json) to open the context menu for the currently focused thread in the left panel — equivalent to clicking the three-dots button or right-clicking the title.
Why This Would Help
It would allow a fully keyboard-driven session management workflow without needing to reach for the mouse.
Proposed Solution
A configurable keyboard shortcut (e.g. via ~/.claude/keybindings.json) that opens the context menu for the currently focused session — the same menu that appears when clicking the three-dots button or right-clicking the title.
Note: thread navigation already works via Ctrl+Tab / Ctrl+Shift+Tab on the desktop app. The missing piece is just a shortcut to open the context menu once focused on a thread.

Use Case Example
Example scenario:
- I'm deep in a coding session and want to rename a previous session to something meaningful
- I press Ctrl+Tab to move focus to the left panel and navigate to the session I want
- I press the shortcut to open the context menu — without touching the mouse
- I select "Rename", type the new name, press Enter
- I'm back in my session without ever leaving the keyboard
This would save time and reduce context-switching friction, especially when managing many sessions throughout the day.
