Description

# Description of the new feature/enhancement

F6 is commonly used to cycle through layers of the UI tree. Windows Terminal doesn't do that. We should make Windows Terminal respect that.

# Proposed technical implementation details (optional)

1. introduce a new action called `moveRegion()` bound to F6 by default
2. when pressed...
- [context: terminal] move the focus to the tab row
- [context: settings UI] move the focus to the navigation view pane (on the left), then to the tab row

This will definitely bring up issues with focus again, so keep a close eye on that when working on this.
