[Feature Request]: Add new default hotkeys #14623

Description

Description

I could see PCSX2 having a few new default hotkeys that could moderately improve the user experience.

I am requesting the following hotkey additions:

  • CTRL+M - Toggle Mute
    - CTRL+EQUAL - Increase Volume
    - CTRL+MINUS - Decrease Volume
  • CTRL+R - Reset Virtual Machine
  • CTRL+W - Shut Down Virtual Machine

Reason

It would benefit the user experience to have these hotkeys already available to use without the need to bind them yourself. The Reset & Shut Down hotkeys are especially helpful when testing PCSX2, they're something I always bind first thing. Having them included as default could save a lot of time in the case of something like regression testing.

Every hotkey suggested already has feedback in the OSD, making it immediately obvious you changed the volume, muted, or triggered a close session request.

All of these hotkeys are also used by Chrome, making them naturally intuitive.

NOTE: These changes would require #14432 being implemented first, as Reset does NOT have a confirmation dialog at the time of this issue request! This is the only suggested hotkey WITHOUT any preventative feedback!
