Recursive Grid Does Not Auto-Dismiss After Click Action

[tkhorik]

When using Recursive Mode in Neru, the overlay does not automatically close after executing a click action (e.g., Cmd+Return bound to left_click), even with auto_exit = true and dismiss_on_action = true enabled.

The click itself is performed correctly, but the recursive grid remains visible and requires a manual Esc press to dismiss.

Expected behavior:
After a successful click action in Recursive Mode, the overlay should automatically close without requiring additional input.

It would be helpful if the click action consistently triggered the overlay dismissal logic in Recursive Mode, matching the intended behavior of dismiss_on_action.

When using Recursive Mode in Neru, the overlay does not automatically close after executing a click action (e.g., Cmd+Return bound to left_click), even with auto_exit = true and dismiss_on_action = true enabled.

Ya, that's expected to be not quitting when a click action happens (same goes to all other modes too). This decision was made so that sometimes when you're clicking something consecutive but around the area, you do not need to do the thing all over again.

Note that there's no auto_exit or dismiss_on_action flag at all in configuration ya.

After some thought, i think it's a better idea to let user configure what action to close the overlay instead. Suggested config would be:

[recursive_grid]
enabled = true
auto_exit_actions = [ "left_click", "middle_click" ] # user to configure however they like it to behave, default to be empty array

I'll take some time later to implement this, check out #484

it's now available in main, feel free to test it out.

It works for me and I like it very much! Thank you for your time

Whoever that's interested with this, there are 3 methods to quit after click as of now.

1. Run an action and manually quit it
2. Setup the action to quit in auto_exit_action
3. Run the mode with --action flag (neru hints --action left_click)

Each has its own use case and depends on your workflow, you may find either of them useful to you.

We also were on a voice call with @tkhorik and found out that it might be useful to add some kind of action that will ignore auto_exit_action. Whenever you need to double click or something like multiple clicks in the area. I don't know how much you really need that, because right now I have 2 shortcuts (one for --action, another for complex clicks that do not auto_exit). But I am just throwing this idea to you
