Description
Currently, in the WordPress Theme and Plugin File Editor, users must manually click the "Save" button to save their changes. In modern development environments, keyboard shortcuts like Ctrl+S (on Windows/Linux) or Cmd+S (on Mac) are commonly used for saving work.
This ticket proposes adding a Ctrl+S / Cmd+S shortcut in the Theme and Plugin Editor to allow users to save files more efficiently without needing to manually click the "Save" button.

- Integrated the shortcut with the existing Update File functionality.
- Prevented the default browser save action to avoid conflicts.
