[webkit-dev] using the keyboard for code reviews

[Ojan Vafai]

You can now use the code review tool entirely with the keyboard. See the
help link at the top for the keyboard shortcuts (pasted in below).

For example, one keyboard-based workflow you could use:
1. Load the review tool.
2. Go through each diff using the j key.
3. When you see a line you want to comment on, shift + j until that line is
focused.
4. Hit enter, type your comment and use ctrl + shift + up to extend to
context of the comment.
5. When finished hit escape to accept, or tab to the OK/discard buttons.
6. Hit r to get to the review select.
7. Pick a review state.
8. Tab to the publish button and hit space to publish.

You can also hit enter on a comment to edit it or to add a reply if it's a
comment from a previous review.

As always, let me know if this works for you or if there are ways to tweak
this to improve your workflow.
