Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe!

Some plugins, especially Arturia's plugins have a lovely patch browsing system which let you midi learn the next/previous preset buttons. This makes playing through banks of presets a joy. Easy and fun. For people with less than perfect eye-sight, also, a keyboard and or a midi shortcut for patch navigation would be a usability improvement.

Describe the solution you'd like:

A. Cursor Up/Down keys mapped to next/previous preset.
B. Ability to right click on next and previous preset and click midi learn.

Describe alternatives you've considered:

There could be alternative ways to do this via some other way of setting up midi mappings, but midi learn would be the most clear and direct method.

Additional context:

This is not just a feature request it's a usability improvement for people with limited vision, and for people who are using Surge XT as a live instrument.

There’s already a big cable key for nex prev cat and patch. We bind it to nothing be default I think since it is pretty dangerous, especially was before we had undo. But the kbd options should let you set it.

As Paul said, you can bind prev/next patch actions if you press Ctrl+B to open the Keyboard Shortcuts overlay.

In the latest nightlies it is also possible to set up a MIDI Programs folder so that you can use MIDI Program Change and Bank Select messages to change patches, pretty much exactly as u-he plugins implement it.
