## Message

```
workspace: Move panes to span the entire border in Vim mode (#39123)

Currently, <kbd>⌃w</kbd> + <kbd>HJKL</kbd> keystrokes swap active pane
with another pane in that direction. Also, if there is no pane to swap
with, nothing happens.

This does not match the expected Vim behavior: moving the split to span
the entire border.

See
https://github.com/vim/vim/blob/ca6a260ef1a4b4ae94bc71c17cbabf8f12bf0f8c/runtime/doc/windows.txt#L527-L549

This change adds `MovePane{Up,Down,Left,Right}` actions that do exactly
that and updates default Vim keymap.

Release Notes:

- Changed `ctrl+w` + `shift-[hjkl]` in Vim mode to move the split to
span the entire border, aligning with Vim‘s behavior.
