Add gesture (keystroke) to toggle Visual Highlight, Enable Highlighting (formerly focus highlight) #11405

Description

@Qchristensen

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

There are times when it would be useful to toggle focus highlight. Being able to assign a keystroke for this would make it easier to do for users who want this (we've had a few requests since adding Focus Highlight to NVDA in 2019.3).

Describe the solution you'd like

A keystroke (not assigned by default), so that users can set this in Input Gestures if preferred.

Describe alternatives you've considered

It can currently be done from the options, although the fewest keystrokes to do it is:

  • NVDA+control+k (to open keyboard settings)
  • control+shift+tab (to go up one category to Vision)
  • spacebar (to toggle "Enable highlighting"
  • enter (to close settings).
