Cursor focus is forced into the comments box while editing comments #29

Description

Hi, thank you for developing SideNote. It is a very helpful Obsidian plugin, especially for reference-style note taking.

I noticed a usability issue when editing comments in SideNote. While the comment editor is active, the cursor/focus seems to be forcibly kept inside the comments box. Because of this, I cannot select text from the current note and copy it into the comments field.

This makes it difficult to quote or reuse content from the note while writing a comment.

Steps to reproduce:

Open a note in Obsidian.

Open SideNote and start editing a comment.

Try to select text from the note body.

The cursor/focus is forced back into the comments box, so the text in the note cannot be selected.

Expected behavior:

When editing a comment, it should still be possible to move the cursor outside the comments box and select text from the note, so that users can copy content into the comment.

Would it be possible to support normal cursor selection outside the comments editor while editing comments?

Thanks again for your work on this plugin!
