Description

### What feature or improvement do you think would benefit Files?

Having the ability to jump to custom folders via the keyboard would be a welcome addition.

In Directory Opus, you hit the '/' key which presents all the user-defined aliases. As you type, this list shows the filtered-down ones, which you can select from.

We would need an options screen where you can create a list of aliases, ie:

Example of hitting '/' and typing the first few characters of the alias to filter down the folders:

### Requirements

- A section in settings will be required to enter details of each alias that the user requires.
- Keyboard shortcuts customization (this can be done via the actions page)?
