Description

When you have more than one suggestion in the quick access box or in the command pallets it would be nice to be able to navigate with something other than the arrow keys.
The ability to navigate the scripts menu using Ctrl+N for Next and Ctrl+P ( for Previous or Cmd+D/U) would be very cool. They are Vim like and are quite common across macOS.

Does anyone else agree with me and how hard would that be to implement?

Research direction

Start by locating the quick access box, command palettes, and scripts menu entry points, then trace how their keyboard navigation handles multiple suggestions. Done means Ctrl+P/N and the requested Cmd+D/U alternatives move to the previous or next suggestion consistently in each menu, without disrupting existing arrow-key behavior.
