[Feature ] Missing Hotkeys? Navigation between split-views ⌨️

[martinandersen3d]

Description of the new feature/enhancement

There are nice hotkeys to split view

{ "command": "splitVertical", "keys": ["alt+shift+v"] },
{ "command": "splitHorizontal", "keys": ["alt+shift+h"] },

Feature:
After a split, we need a way to toggle or switch between the two splits. Currently the "next tab" hotkey does not work. I have not found a way to tab/navigate between two split-views.

Suggestion: Add hotkeys to tab between a split view

Proposed technical implementation details (optional)

{ "command": "focusNextSplitview", "keys": ["alt+shift+n"] }
{ "command": "focusPrevSplitview", "keys": ["alt+shift+p"] }

Maybe later:

{ "command": "focusSplitview1", "keys": ["alt+shift+1"] }
{ "command": "focusSplitview2", "keys": ["alt+shift+2"] }
{ "command": "focusSplitview3", "keys": ["alt+shift+3"] }

maybe and option to just use the ctrl+tab.. and cycle through splits and "tabs" with the same hotkey..

Suggestions for better naming is very welcome, maybe some more consistent with other names in the application? And maybe also hotkeys suggestions..

So there are already the following to move focus in a particular direction:

terminal/src/cascadia/TerminalApp/defaults.json

Lines 315 to 318 in 6ac6c87

	{ "command": { "action": "moveFocus", "direction": "down" }, "keys": "alt+down" },
	{ "command": { "action": "moveFocus", "direction": "left" }, "keys": "alt+left" },
	{ "command": { "action": "moveFocus", "direction": "right" }, "keys": "alt+right" },
	{ "command": { "action": "moveFocus", "direction": "up" }, "keys": "alt+up" },

and there's #2871 for nextPane and prevPane keybindings. I'm gonna resolve this issue as a dupe of that thread for now - let me know if that's not what you were looking for.
