Description

Hi,

I use RR on a tablet with a keyboard. as such, I want to use the arrow keys to quickly jump over the top level comments (i.e. pressing down moves the next top level comment to the top of the view, and vice versa).

A small enhancement, but killer feature for use with keyboard.

Research direction

No files or tests are named. Start by locating the top-level comment rendering and input-handling entry points, then determine how up and down keys can move between comments and align the selected comment with the top of the view; done means both directions traverse only top-level comments as described.
