add keyboard shortcut to toggle Show hidden events in timeline

[HarHarLinks]

Your use case

What would you like to do?

toggle the labs setting Show hidden events in timeline by keyboard combination

Why would you like to do it?

Show hidden events in timeline is at the very bottom of a 3 deep menu (main menu, settings, labs, scroll to bottom). Switching back and forth is quite the hassle

How would you like to achieve it?

add a keyboard shortcut like Ctrl+Shift+H

Have you considered any alternatives?

add it to quick settings if developer mode is on or so

Do you need to enable some sort of developer mode in order to be able to view the labs tab in settings? I cannot find it, even in element running in dev mode.

I just found that it's an option in settings.json. I assume this means this shortcut should be only present if that option is enabled.

perhaps it should get moved out of labs into dev mode anyway? it's not an experimental element feature, but a dev feature(?)

It's only available if you enable labs. Because of that, the amount of changes is slightly larger. I almost have an initial patch ready, I just ran into some tooling issues, preventing me from creating clean diffs.

Yeah, develop.element.io and the nightly desktop build have that option on and so have labs available. And yep, it's one of the advanced / developer settings that's got mixed up under labs, so shouldn't really be there. Thanks for looking at this!
