Merged
Conversation
Add a "Bind a key to toggle" subsection explaining how to wire `demux sidebar toggle` to a tmux key, and how to drive it from a cmd chord by mapping the terminal emulator to the M-E escape sequence (Ghostty example included).

Context
The sticky sidebar is toggled with
demux sidebar toggle, but the README never showed how to bind that command to a key. Driving it from acmdchord is non-obvious: terminals do not forwardcmdshortcuts to tmux, so the terminal emulator has to translate the chord into an escape sequence tmux can catch.What does this PR do
Adds a "Bind a key to toggle" subsection under
