Closes #942

What changed

When you press the shortcut for Define or for an extension command a second time, the palette now closes. Before, the second press did nothing. Snippets, File Search and Clipboard History already work this way.

  • Dictionary: DictionaryCoordinator.show(term:) now calls togglePalette(mode: .dictionary, …). It called showPalette before. The "Define 'word'" fallback row sends its term with the command, so it still always opens the palette.
  • Extensions: ExtensionCoordinator.runExtensionCommand(entryID:) runs only from a hotkey. If the palette already shows .extensionCommand and ExtensionManager.running is the same command, it hides the palette. It uses the same hidePalette() path as a click outside the palette. The shortcut of a different extension command still replaces the current one. Launcher rows and raycast:// deep links do not use this path, so they are not affected.

Memory footprint

Not measured. The change adds one comparison on each hotkey press and no new state. Hiding the palette uses the same path as a click outside it.

Drawbacks

If an extension has pushed a view on top of its first screen, a second press closes the whole palette. It does not go back one step. The issue asks for this behavior.

Quick AI also opens with showPalette. It is outside the issue's scope, so this PR does not change it.

Tests & validation

  • ./Scripts/run-tests.sh: all 77 harnesses pass.
  • ./Scripts/lint.sh is clean. The Debug build has no new warnings.
  • I did not test this by hand in the running app.

Define opened its screen with showPalette, so a second press of its
shortcut did nothing. It now goes through togglePalette like File
Search and Snippets; a fallback's carried term still always opens.

An extension command's shortcut hides the palette when that same
command is already on screen, matched through ExtensionManager.running.
Any other command still replaces it.

📝 Summary

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes
    • Activating a dictionary term now toggles the palette while retaining dictionary mode and the selected term.
    • Pressing an extension command’s shortcut again while that command is active now closes the palette instead of running the command again.

Walkthrough

The dictionary coordinator toggles the palette while preserving term seeding. The extension coordinator hides the palette when its matching command is already running.

A quick repeat press may restart an extension command instead of closing its palette. This is a narrow shortcut edge case, but it remains unresolved.

Reserve the command before scheduling its run.

runExtensionCommand(entryID:) checks extensions.running, but the first invocation only schedules ExtensionManager.run in a new Task. ExtensionManager.run assigns running after await stop() and other guards. A rapid second hotkey can observe nil and schedule another run instead of hiding the palette.

Make the manager claim the command before asynchronous startup, and clear the claim if startup fails.
