Description

Similar to #46100 but specifically requesting resize left/right/up/down key bindings.

It would also be useful if we could set increment sizes as the default is quite small.

Context: now that vscode's in-editor-pane terminal is reliable I use it a lot more, almost treating vscode as a multiplexer. So being able to resize panes with more fine-grained control from the keyboard would be very useful.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Examine the existing keybinding and pane resize logic in VSCode, then implement new commands for resizing panes with keyboard shortcuts and configurable increment sizes.
