Research direction

Start by reviewing the existing PSReadLine key-handler commands and how key-handler settings are represented. Define whether the feature should restore defaults, import/export shared configuration, or both; done means the chosen behavior is implemented and its command usage is clear.

Description of the new feature/enhancement

I forget which key handlers I set and may be nice to have a simple way to reset all key handlers to their default values. Potentially something like Restore-PSReadLineKeyHandler -Default, or make it extensible such that we can import/export keyhandler config files so folks can share and use key handler files. i.e Restore-PSReadLineKeyHandler -Path ./MyKeyHandlers.json or something like this. Curious if folks use key handlers often and if this is something that may be useful.
