Ctrl+E shortcut conflicts with standard readline "end of line" behavior #1041

Description

@yidinghan
 ### Describe the bug

 `Ctrl+E` is a standard readline/Emacs shortcut for moving the cursor to the end of the line. However, Copilot CLI remaps it to "expand tool input/output", which breaks the expected behavior.

 This makes it inconvenient to edit longer prompts in the input box.

 ### Affected version

 0.0.387

 ### Expected behavior

 `Ctrl+E` should move the cursor to the end of the line (standard readline behavior), or at least provide an alternative shortcut for this function.

 ### Proposed solution

 - Use a different shortcut for "expand tool output" (e.g., `Ctrl+O` which is already used for expand timeline)
 - Or allow `Ctrl+E` to retain its readline behavior in the input box
