feat: add command to switch mode

Description

Feature: add command to switch mode

When I'm developing with roo-code, I often need to switch between different modes. Clicking the select box is somewhat inconvenient for me, and I hope there could be a better way to help me switch modes. When I learned that the new version of Cursor added a Cmd + . shortcut to switch modes, I was excited and wanted to add this functionality to roo-code as well.

• Bug fix (non-breaking change which fixes an issue)

The new keybinding for 'roo-cline.cycleModes' is registered with a universal condition ('when': 'true'). Consider refining the condition (e.g. checking for an active editor or focused window) to avoid accidental triggering in contexts where switching modes isn’t applicable.

Suggested change

	"when": "true"
	"when": "editorTextFocus"

Thanks @aheizi! I fixed the conflicts and pushed a change to find the current mode in the list before cycling. Hope you don't mind!

Er, I just realized that this gets in the way of the previous cmd + . behavior when you have selected text in the editor. Do you know if there's a way to only apply this when the extension is in focus?

[aheizi]

okey, I'll try it right now

emmm, I tried some methods, but they didn't work, I'll try again later.

vscode.commands.registerCommand is used to register VSCode commands, but in this scenario, we need to handle the shortcut key events of the plugin's internal webview. so i will change the way to realize this function.

Great! Thanks for digging in.
