Description
### Description of the new feature / enhancement
I don't like the Ctrl-[1-9] navigation scheme, I much prefer the arrow navigation scheme, because it is used everywhere: PT Run / CmdPal, autocompletions in many softwares, file explorers ...
To make things worse, with the Ctrl-N scheme, the same action can have a different shortcut depending on context. E.g. saving a png to disk is Ctrl-2 but saving a txt is Ctrl-4.
### Scenario when this would be used?
Anytime I use advanced paste
### Supporting information

Contributor guide
Research direction
Start at AdvancedPaste's existing Ctrl-[1-9] navigation handling and trace how choices are selected. Done means arrow keys provide navigation during AdvancedPaste use while preserving the existing choices and behavior.
