fix(web): focus settings search with command-f

[extoci]

Problem

Cmd+F did not focus Settings search. Most sections fell through to the browser's Find command, while Keybindings focused its separate filter.

Change

Handle Cmd+F and Ctrl+F in the shared Settings sidebar, opening it when collapsed and focusing/selecting the search query. Remove the competing Keybindings handler so every section uses the same search. Preserve / search, dialog focus traps, and shortcut recording.

Scope and approval

This is a small, focused fix for the standard Find shortcut on the existing Settings search. It changes two web components shared by web and desktop, with no server, provider, contract, or native mobile changes.

Verification

• The requester tested the running web app over LAN and confirmed it worked.
• vp test run apps/web/src/components/settings/KeybindingsSettings.environment.test.tsx apps/web/src/components/settings/settingsSearch.test.ts: 64 tests passed.
• Web vp run typecheck: passed.
• Targeted lint and formatting checks passed, with one existing react/set-state-in-effect warning in SettingsSidebarNav.

Macroscope's review found this PR approvable — This is a focused settings-search bug fix that consolidates Cmd/Ctrl+F handling into the existing sidebar search and removes a duplicate keybindings handler.
