Fix terminal toggle keybinding (cmd + `) not working on MacOS

[DeepanshuMishraa]

Pull Request

The frontend keymaps defined cmd+for terminal toggle, but the Tauri native menu (which is enabled by default on macOS) was registering CmdOrCtrl+J. Since the native menu intercepts keyboard shortcuts at the OS level, pressingCmd+`` wasn't being handled by either system.

Description

• Changed the Tauri menu to use `CmdOrCtrl+`` to match the frontend
• Added a fallback in the matcher to use event.code (which returns "Backquote") when event.key is "Dead"

Pull request overview

This PR fixes the terminal toggle keybinding (Cmd+) not working on macOS by addressing a mismatch between the frontend keymap definition and the Tauri native menu registration. The frontend used cmd+``, but the Tauri menu used CmdOrCtrl+J, causing keyboard shortcuts to be mishandled at the OS level.

Changes:

• Updated Tauri menu registration from CmdOrCtrl+J to `CmdOrCtrl+`` to match frontend keymap
• Added fallback logic in the keyboard event matcher to handle "Dead" key events by mapping event.code to logical key names
