Add F3 shortcut to toggle the dual layout feature

See original GitHub issue

What’s the Problem?

As someone who’s comming from an KDE Background (Dolphin as Filemanager) i’m used to different Keyboardshortcuts. The Problem is that i see no way of that option in Files. Not in an .json like the Terminal setting or an GUI option

Solution/Idea

A way to customize the Keyboard shortcut without modification of the source code. Like through the Settings in the Settings Page or through an .json similar to that of Terminal:

{
    "$schema": "https://aka.ms/terminal-profiles-schema",
    "actions": 
    [
        {
            "command": 
            {
                "action": "splitscreen",
            },
            "keys": "ctrl+alt+s"
        },
    ]
}

with a Syntax like that example.

For these Types of things its nice to have an extended list for all actions like this one again from Terminal https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/terminal/customize-settings/actions

Alternatives

An Alternative is through the Registry with an key in HKCU\SOFTWARE\Files-community\shortcuts and put the “Actions” into an REG_SZ type and the shortcut in the data field.
