Request: Keyboard shortcuts

[KyleTryon]

Is there an existing issue that is already proposing this?

• I have searched the existing issues

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe it

This feature is not related to any missing functionality, rather a request for optimized control of existing functionality.

Describe the solution you'd like

Provide a mouse-free experience where users could utilize the visual config editor entirely or nearly entirely from the keyboard.

On many developer websites, GitHub.com included, if you click shift + ? on your keyboard (ctrl + ? for google sheets), you will be shown a set of keyboard shortcuts for the context of the page you are on. From this page for instance, I can create a new issue on this repository by pressing c.

I suggest a similar experience be created for the visual config editor, where users can rapidly create configs visually from the keyboard

Teachability, documentation, adoption, migration strategy

Draft proposal

Keyboard Key	Function
j	Create new job
ctrl + j	Create a new job that requires the currently selected job
e	Create new executor
shift + w	Create new workflow tab
`ctrl + scroll wheel	Zoom in and out, this is already supported
ctrl + ?	Show keyboard shortcuts in window
ctrl + g	Generate config
g + c	focus on code editor

Something that is missing from here is some method of selecting and traversing jobs in the workflow

What is the motivation / use case for changing the behavior?

Providing a powerful and accessible alternative method of controlling the app

Just discovered this which may be a suitable and maybe easier alternative. I would just want to ensure accessibility as a focus, no matter the choice.
