Subject: [PATCH] fix: slash commands without args now submit immediately on
 selection

When selecting a slash command without arguments (e.g. /new, /status, /help)
from the autocomplete menu, the command now executes immediately instead of
getting stuck in a loop where the menu kept intercepting Enter keypresses.

Fixes #17
