Focus last active Chrome window for global shortcuts

[Copilot]

Global shortcuts triggered while Chrome is in the background should bring the last active Chrome window to the foreground. Currently commands run but Chrome remains unfocused, making global shortcuts awkward to use.

• Window focus on command execution
  • Add a shared helper that focuses the last active normal Chrome window before executing shortcut commands.
• Hardened focus behavior
  • Use a strict window ID check and guard against missing-window errors while surfacing unexpected failures.

async function focusLastActiveWindow() {
  const lastFocusedWindow = await chrome.windows.getLastFocused({
    windowTypes: ['normal'],
    includeIncognito: true,
  });

  if (lastFocusedWindow && typeof lastFocusedWindow.id === 'number') {
    await chrome.windows.update(lastFocusedWindow.id, { focused: true });
  }
}
