Describe the feature you'd like

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Currently, when I open a bookmark to read it and then click the "Archive" button, the bookmark stays open. I have to manually close it (or press Esc) to go back to the home/list view. This adds friction when processing multiple items one by one.

Describe the solution you'd like
I would like to see a user setting (toggle) in the UI preferences called something like "Close viewer on Archive".
If enabled, when I archive a bookmark from the detailed view, the modal/page should automatically close and return me to the previous list (Home/All bookmarks).

Describe the benefits this would bring to existing Karakeep users

This would greatly speed up the workflow for users who process their "Inbox" by reading and immediately archiving items.

Can the goal of this request already be achieved via other means?

Have you searched for an existing open/closed issue?

I have searched for existing issues and none cover my fundamental request
