## Message

```
Add NewFile keybinding to Welcome context (#52463)

## Context

`ctrl-n` / `cmd-n` doesn't work on the Welcome tab. The global binding
lives under `Workspace && !Terminal` (macOS) and similar contexts that
don't include Welcome. The fix just adds the same binding to the Welcome
context block on all three platforms — same approach the font-size and
recent-project shortcuts already use there.

Closes #52426

## How to review

One line added per platform keymap file. Check that `ctrl-n` / `cmd-n`
maps to `workspace::NewFile` in the `Welcome` block of:
- `assets/keymaps/default-macos.json`
- `assets/keymaps/default-linux.json`
- `assets/keymaps/default-windows.json`
