Keyboard shortcuts for switching focus between left & right sides of diff view

[siddharth-krishna]

It would be great if there was a keyboard shortcut to switch between the left and right sides of a diff view (what opens when you show changes to a file from the source control tab, or when you use the "Compare active file with..." command). I often find myself comparing two files, especially when refactoring, and copying content from the left file to the right one, and without keyboard shortcuts this is tedious as I have to use the mouse every time to switch focus. (If there's an existing command for this I can bind a keyboard shortcut to, that'd be great too!)

Thanks for all the amazing work!

VS Code version 1.44.0 on Windows 10
