Description

Open the GoTo panel and start to type. A list of folders appears and you can use the up and down arrows to move through the list.

What would be nice, by which I mean what would be intuitive because it is what I expected, is that when you get to the bottom of the list, the down arrow takes you back to the top - and vice versa.

The main use for this is situations where you start to type, you can see the location you want in the list but it is all the way towards the bottom and it'd be fewer keystrokes to press Up a couple of times than press Down 20 times.

Research direction

Open the GoTo panel, type a folder search, and reproduce the list navigation with the up and down arrows. Trace the panel's selection handling and verify that pressing Down at the last item selects the first, while pressing Up at the first selects the last.
