I can get to the settings UI while in focus mode (Shift+F11) with Ctrl+Shift+,

Is there a keystroke to close the settings UI in this situation?

Never mind. Ctrl+F4 does it. Could Ctrl+Shift+, be made a toggle?

Maybe even a three-way toggle ...

  • If it's not open, open it and switch to it.
  • If it's open and you're in it, close it.
  • If it's open and you're not in it, switch to it.

Except for the settings UI, I have no use for Ctrl+F4. All my shells have an "exit" command, and exit+Enter is a single keystroke here.

I mean, all the keybindings now work in the SUI. So you could just close the tab with ctrl+shift+w (or whatever you have closePane/closeTab bound to).

Meh, I don't really love that. I think it's fine to leave openSettings as "open the settings" (which is just a no-op if you're already in the settings). It's not "toggleSettings". @DHowett can override my veto though if he so chooses.
