## Message

```
Add commands to select next/previous siblings in the syntax tree (#35053)

Closes #5133 and discussion
https://github.com/zed-industries/zed/discussions/33493

This PR adds two new commands to select next/previous siblings in the
syntax tree. These commands were modelled after the existing ones about
expand/shrink selection. With this PR I've added new key bindings
inspired by `helix` for previous / next / expand / shrink selections.
