Description
I would find it very useful to be able to navigate "sections" in a document by navigating headings using shortcut keys in the editor. Most often I want to navigate by the same level of heading (jumping to the next level 2 heading, regardless of level 3+ headings in-between), but sometimes navigating to the next heading (no matter it's level) is also useful. Perhaps a preferences option to repurpose CMD-1 through CMD--6 (next heading) and SHFT-CMD-1 through SHFT-CMD-6 (previous heading)?
I'm curious if others would also find this feature useful.

Research direction
The issue does not name any files, tests, or entry points. Start by locating the editor's heading navigation and shortcut preference handling, then clarify whether same-level and any-level navigation are both required and how the proposed key mappings should work. Done means heading navigation works through the agreed shortcuts and preferences.
