Is there an existing issue for this?

I have searched the existing issues

Summary

Currently, if i want to use commonly used keybindings like CMD+W (CTRL+W on windows) to close current request. it will close entire app. it would be great to add some of the keybindings like the one mentioned or CMD+T to create a new request or something similar.

Why should this be worked on?

As developers we are used to key bindings and we are already using them in our day-to-day life. these keybindings will be tried automatically and having them will help users adapt to hoppscotch faster.
