Description

I take screenshots of both dark and lights modes for the handbook. It'd be nice if there was a way to trigger this change via a shortcut so I don't have to open preferences every time.

It can be called 'Toggle light/dark theme'. It should not have a default shortcut.

Research direction

Start by tracing the shortcut and preferences entry points for existing theme actions. Add a “Toggle light/dark theme” action without a default shortcut, then verify it switches themes and can be assigned through preferences.
