Description
Motivation
When there are lots of files displayed in the Asset Browser, it can be a bit tedious to have to click (with left mouse button) on each file one by one in order to display their preview.
Proposed solution
It would be pretty convenient to be able to press Arrow Up ⬆️ and Arrow Down ⬇️ keys on our keyboards to browse .shp files in the Asset Browser, in order to display the previous or next file in a .mix file.

Research direction
Start by locating the Asset Browser and its existing file-selection and keyboard-input handling. Check how .shp files are ordered within a .mix file, then verify that Arrow Up and Arrow Down move the selection to the previous or next file and update its preview. Done means browsing files works without clicking each one.
