Toggle-list appearance in authenticated Docs
The Toggle current item and Toggle all items shortcuts are unchanged. When the high-contrast treatment is enabled, toggle-list chevrons in the authenticated Docs editor and rendered or shared authenticated Docs surfaces have a persistent background pill at rest, so the affordance is visible without hovering; hover remains supplemental. Do not extend this visual claim to public Docs, public sharing, the embedded editor, comment composers and quotes, Inbox comment-mention previews, or unverified mobile surfaces.
