Enhancement Note: Keyboard Shortcuts

I have been bothering the team for ages about how I dislike having to open the left sidebar. However, the new  design that we are about to use will be used way more, not only as a list of links and affordances, but as the main app navigation. I think this makes a lot of sense and will help users to understand the system foundations. Still, I want to keep my clean writing experience without opening the Sidebar! :)

I propose that we start being more considerate with the App Keyboard Shortcuts from now on! I believe that everybody wants this, and each of us has asked for it at one point. So let's do it!

For every command in the system, there should be a Keyboard Shortcut. For each item in the sidebar, there should be a Keyboard Shortcut!  and  have asked for some shortcuts as Search or Quick Publishing commands.

People might want to change the default shortcuts. We could have a JSON file that users can edit, with the same level of flexibility as code editors like VS Code. Even if we don't do it initially, it would be nice to plan the architecture to support this.
