Description

Keyboard shortcuts are great! slash commands are great Let's make them better

Proposal

Many web applications support unix-like or vi-like keyboard shortcuts that software engineers still use and love. Here's what I'd like to see added into gitlab in general, and into the issue tracker specifically

list navigation shortcuts

j / k keys for forward and back respectively - If I'm in a list of issues, and want to move to next issue in that previous list, j should take me forward to next issue in list, k should bring me back to previous issue in that list. Anywhere that there is a list of items, I like the ability to go between using j and k keys.

'/' key - not in text box - usually opens up a keystroke match search - with ability to go through matches using 'n' and 'p' keys for next and previous.

'r' key - jump to reply

Thanks for your considerations
