Make it easier to cycle through presets

as it stands, the most convenient way to quickly cycle through presets on a plugin that has focus is to use the "Browse presets" function and move down the list in the left sidebar.

it's not really all that convenient though, because when you press enter to select a preset, focus goes back to the plugin, so now if you press down arrow, nothing happens. first you have to switch focus to the left sidebar.

perhaps i'm missing something, in which case please do enlighten me.

i got pretty lose to having a keyboard shortcut for cycling presets with Keyboard Maestro, which is able to simulate a mouse click on a button it looks up via image search. so, you take a screenshot of those little arrows, usually situated top right on the plugin window, you plug that in to the shortcut, and off you go.

it works kinda-sorta, more often than not it doesn't. really users shouldn't have to go to such extremes to achieve what is a pretty simple and super-common UX action.

how about a pair of keyboard shortcuts, one for "go backward" and one for "go forward", to cycle presets with? would be such a win, and doesn't seem like it should be very complicated to add.

thank you for reading and for considering this :)
