Description
Hi,
I am not sure whether the following feature is already available. If it is already there please guide me.
Everytime I want to choose an option from the Select menu I have to go through the up and down keys to choose the option.
For example:

In the above case, if I have to select the last option i.e 'd', I will have to press the down key 4 times to select it or might have to type the whole sentence to reach that option.
I have a suggestion to map some key as up and down button when I have the options menu selected. Like in fuzzy-finder Ctrl + N and Ctrl + P works as up and down.
I am not great with CoffeeScript. Tell me if I could help with some thing.
Thanks

Research direction
No files or tests are named. Start by checking Vimium's existing select-menu keyboard handling and whether Ctrl-N/Ctrl-P are already mapped elsewhere; done means those keys move through the selected options without breaking current navigation.
