add a hotkey for clearing all highlights

this could also be added to the existing = key
I'd rather not have it to use same key, as it's convenient to drop filters and do more searches, while keeping what's already highlighted... And now while we at it - current = will actually drop highlight via filters, but won't drop highlights of separate lines.
Which is not good
So will need a different shortcut to drop highlights of both types
btw - ~ - this is a modified search, not really a filter. I think it makes more sense to see it as a search that automatically highlights what it finds, since by itself it does not impact the filtering. I think it's more intuitive to think of it that way, and the = wouldn't be expected to change anything about highlights.
It is actually a filter, at least the way it's used here
I.e filter is something, that affects what lines will be displayed and what dropped.
So with ~ lines always displayed, while with + they can be dropped by following -
In any case, I think we agree on the expected behavior of =. I.e not dropping highlights
But then, need to come up with shortcut to drop all highlights :)
Maybe "ctrl+h". As n + shiftN will be used to navigate highlights.
