Description
I'm using a WordCompleter prompt, and I'd like to set up a key binding that will, irrespective of what's in the buffer, cycle through the list of words in the completer's list. Is this available as a built-in keybinding, and if not, how might I best implement one?

Research direction
The issue names WordCompleter and key bindings but no files, tests, or entry points. Start by locating those components and checking whether an existing binding can cycle through the completer's full word list regardless of buffer contents. Done means the requested behavior is clearly supported or its implementation path is established.
