Keybinding Action to "Bring all to front"

It would be great to be able to have a keybind action to focus the terminal ("Bring all to front"), just like toggle_visibility Shows/hides all windows.

Proposal

Add a new keybinding bring_all_to_front that does this. I believe we can make this work on GTK too.

Rather then a new keybinding, I propose this could be achieved with modifying the default behavior of toggle_visibility.

From this

If window is state;background, and toggle is pressed --> state;hidden

to

If window is state;background, and toggle is pressed --> state;focus_bring_to_front

In summary,

state_transition = {
 "hidden": "focus_bring_to_front",
 "background": "focus_bring_to_front",
 "focus_bring_to_front": "hidden"
}

I believe that is how that toggle should work, but I felt it may be useful to have an single-behavior action as well (instead of a toggle).
