Description
I started introducing keyboard shortcuts to improve the efficiency of use and the overall user experience.
I have a few ideas about where to apply shortcuts but I'm unsure of the shortcut keys to be used, so feel free to give me some suggestions.
More shortcuts will be added and you can even suggest new ones.

Contributor guide
Research direction
Start with the proposed shortcut table in the issue body and review the existing application entry points for settings, analysis, packet capture, tabs, pagination, zoom, and modal actions. Before implementation, clarify which shortcuts are accepted and what platforms they must support; done means the agreed shortcuts work consistently across those actions.
