Research direction

Examine the existing keyboard shortcut implementation in Brave's source code, likely in C++ files handling Chromium accelerators. Look for how similar features like 'Toggle fullscreen' are bound to keys. The issue lacks specifics on desired shortcut, so consult UX guidelines and check for any existing PiP shortcut proposals. Review the PiP feature's current activation method (e.g., right click menu) to determine where to insert the new shortcut.
