Description

I want to select next (previous) elements with tab (shift + tab). When I started to implement this I found the commands select next and select prev in CommandMap, but I cannot find them anywhere else.

So my first question: am I blind or is there nothing else implemented yet?

Second one: would you accept a pull request that would implement this for only some of the Container types?

Research direction

Start by locating CommandMap and checking whether the select next and select prev commands have any implementations or tests. Then inspect how Container types handle keyboard input and selection. Done means an agreed subset supports Tab and Shift+Tab for selecting the next or previous element, with tests covering the supported containers.
