Description of the Problem

Build on current master, in the Themes and Colors tab in the config editor, a couple of things makes it a little bit rough or counter-intuitive. I don't necessarily have ideas for them, but think it's worth mentioning:

  • Tab to move between tabs also move between the left and right side of this tab, that's unsettling;
  • In the right part user can only move between items using up and down arrow and only on some of the items, their vim equivalents (j and k) although those doesn't work on items with an input field where inputs are taken immediately without having the user press enter.
    • We should be able to use vim-like movement on all of them or none;
    • Ideally it'd be best to be able to move on left and right items with the corresponding movements. But I know there's a difficulty here as the layout is dynamic depending on the terminal size, and items are not always on the same line or column;
  • In the right part, we move using up and down but instead of cycling, if we press up from the first item or down from the last item, we're sent back to the column on the left, which is quite unexpected.
