Description

Same thing as keyboardNav moveUpThread, but for people who hate keyboards.

Research direction
This issue requests adding a UI button to navigate to top level comments (similar to the existing keyboard shortcut). First, examine the commentNav module in the RES codebase to understand the current navigation structure. Look for how keyboard navigation is implemented (e.g., moveUpThread) and identify where to add a corresponding button or link in the comment interface. Consider adding a button that scrolls to the next top level comment. The implementation should be consistent with existing UI patterns. Check for any prior discussion in comments (6 comments) for additional context.
