Unified Diff: Make overlay toolbar actions accessible via keyboard shortcuts #2938
The overlay toolbar shown in the text editor when unified diff is active provides the following actions:
Revert
Hide Diff
Previous Change
Next Change
Open 2-way Compare Editor
These actions are currently only reachable via the mouse. There is no way to trigger them from the keyboard, which is a significant accessibility gap and a productivity issue for keyboard-centric users.
Expected Behavior
All actions provided by the unified diff overlay toolbar should be accessible via the keyboard — either through dedicated key bindings registered in the Eclipse key binding system, or via some other keyboard-accessible mechanism (e.g., command palette integration).
Acceptance Criteria
Each overlay toolbar action has a corresponding Eclipse command with a default key binding.
The key bindings are documented and conflict-free with existing Eclipse defaults.
The feature works without needing to click the overlay toolbar at all.
