Add shortcut for "Add reaction" and make "Add reaction" navigable from keyboard using arrow keys
Description
Problem: it's not possible to add a reaction without using a pointing device.
Proposal
- Create a shortcut for adding a reaction to the latest comment. Slack already uses Ctrl+Shift+\ for this so we could consider using the same.
- Make "Add reaction" window navigable using arrow keys, just like in Slack.
