Description
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
QoL
Describe the solution you'd like
Allow scrolling through menus with the right joystick, for example in the keybinds view.
When scrolling away from the currently selected option (I mean, when the currently selected option goes out of screen due to scrolling), the next/previous (depending on the direction of scrolling) option should be selected so that the view doesn't suddenly jump back to the previous scroll position.
Describe alternatives you've considered
Currently you can just select an option out of view by navigating to scroll, however for browsing through menus purposes it's a nice QoL to be able to more quickly and smoothly scroll with the right joystick.
Additional context
This is implemented in many other games, for example Cyberpunk 2077 (in this example they also have a cursor for navigation).

Research direction
Start by locating the menu and keybinds view code, then trace the existing right-joystick scrolling and option-selection behavior. Implement the requested browsing behavior so scrolling keeps the selected option aligned with the visible menu, and verify it in the keybinds view.
