Show / Choose From List (Configurable) go to first/last item

Andreas, in some of the previous versions of BTT when using the list from "Show / Choose From List (Configurable)" action I was able to go to the 1st item whenever I press the down arrow while on the last item, but is no longer possible.

I'm not sure about if the other way around worked before, but I think it will be good addition - when on the first item pressing the up arrow to go to last item.

BTT: 5.731

Thanks.

did you like this behavior? I found it a bit confusing because I couldn‘t just hold arrow down to get to the last item - it always jumped back up.

I‘ll check how spotlight etc handle this.

I get what you mean and I agree to a certain point, but that's why I think if we have both in place it will be more pragmatic.

I think I can add an option for this. I just checked spotlight and some other similar list style apps, and they all don't jump back up by default so I think the current one is the common approach. However I also get that the circular approach might work for some users.

Hey @Andreas_Hegenberg ,

I guess you are busy with other features/bugs but were you able to check on that? I have some long lists and going to last item takes a lot of time. Just additional info - my lists are generated by "Retrieve Content Dynamically via Java Script / JSON"

Not yet, but there is also a macOS standard shortcut for list navigation to go the last item (I think this works on all SwiftUI lists):
opt+arrow down (arrow up to go back to the first item), maybe that can help for now.

Ah actually the shortcut is just opt+arrow up/down - I confused that earlier today.

Hm, for me it is actually CMD+OPT+arrow up/down. Thanks.
