What we did

In response to Issue #3602, my Colleague and I designed shortcut keys for the "Start All Nodes", "Stop All Nodes" and "Suspend All Nodes" options in the Control menu.

Thanks for the PR however why choosing F5 which I think could be complicated on some laptops?

For instance, VMware uses the following shortcuts:

@grossmj We couldn't think of keys that would be intuitive for the respective functions so we used the ones Visual Studio has for running and stopping code. We were not aware of the conventions used in network simulators but now that you have informed us, I have modified the shortcuts to Ctrl+B, E and J in my recent commits.

Not sure this is a convention, I was just thinking of easier shortcuts, especially for laptop users. Anyway, thanks for changing these, I will test and merge soon 👍
