Provide a keybinding for opening the Variables view

[jmcphers]

The Variables view is one of the most useful and frequently used panes in Positron, but there's no way to activate it with a keyboard shortcut (outside of using the Command Palette). We do have a command which opens it:

However, it doesn't have a keybinding. We should add one to help make this pane keyboard-navigable.

Hello Positron team,

Thank you for including some keybindings for opening variables pane. Currently in the positron version

Positron Version: 2025.02.0 (Universal) build 79

and R version:
4.4.1

i see that the cmd + K F does indeed focus on the console, however, cmd + K V currently does not focus on the variables pane:

Please let me know if there is something I might be doing wrong, and I apologize if there is already an issue/PR in the works for this

Ah, the issue is that although #6060 was merged into main, a build incorporating that particular code hasn't yet made it to https://github.com/posit-dev/positron/releases. Let me see if we can get moving on that!

@anbrav0 The new release is available now: https://github.com/posit-dev/positron/releases/tag/2025.02.0-137
