Is your feature request related to a problem?
Some dropdowns (like Equipped Items) can be scrolled/(up/down) to swap items, but not the dropwdowns in pic related
Describe the solution you'd like
Enable mouse wheel/arrow keys on all dropdowns
Describe alternatives you've considered
N/A
Additional context
this program is extremely taxing on my hands and wrists because of moving hands between keyboard/mouse for every little thing.

Research direction
Start by running the application and comparing the dropdowns that already support mouse-wheel or arrow-key navigation with those shown in the issue. Trace the shared dropdown handling and identify whether all dropdowns use the same entry point. Done means every dropdown supports the requested mouse-wheel and arrow-key navigation without disrupting existing selection behavior.
