feat(zellij): relocate mode-entry keys to Alt+Shift+* to stop shadowing shell/nvim
Zellij's default Ctrl+* mode-entry keys (Ctrl+p/t/r/s/o/g/b/q) were
intercepted before reaching the inner shell/editor, shadowing zsh fzf
bindings (Ctrl+t), history navigation (Ctrl+p/n), nvim jumps (Ctrl+o),
save (Ctrl+s), etc.
Unbind all conflicting Ctrl+* entries and relocate mode-entry to
Alt+Shift+<first-letter-of-mode>:
Alt+Shift+P Pane
Alt+Shift+T Tab
Alt+Shift+R Resize
Alt+Shift+S Scroll
Alt+Shift+O Session
Alt+Shift+Z Locked (Z avoids Treewalker Alt+Shift+h/j/k/l swap)
Alt+Shift+Q Quit
TMUX-compat mode dropped. Only Ctrl+h/j/k/l remain bound in zellij (for
vim-zellij-navigator); every other Ctrl+* now passes through.
Requires fresh zellij session (kill-all-sessions -y) to take effect.
