Description

We can customise which views are visible via View > Views and Toolbars, but currently there's no way to assign keyboard shortcuts to these. It would be nice if we could assign keyboard shortcuts.

In particular, I'd like to be able to toggle the console and issues views via keyboard, as I often need them while debugging scripts, but don't like to have them always visible.

If shortcuts are achieved via Actions for these toggles, then presumably scripts could toggle these Actions as well, creating the possibility of scripts that allow toggling several views with one hotkey.
