Description

Summary:

Add some up and down arrows in card view that would allow scrolling to "previous" and "next" cards.

How important this is to me and why: Because "notes" is not visible in table view, it would be nice to scroll to next, previous cards without leaving list view. Especially from a table view where the order of cards is obvious.

Importance: High/Medium/Low Medium

Use cases:

  1. Reviewing cards detail for list of cards
  2. Updating cards detail

Additional context / similar features: Any examples of good implementations of this capability.

Jira, when viewing a "filter list" allows the detail pane to scroll through list.

Research direction
The issue requests adding up/down arrows in the card view to navigate between cards, similar to Jira's detail pane. To implement, you would need to modify the card view component (likely in src/components/cardView) to add arrow buttons and manage state for the current card index. Use the existing list order from the table view to determine previous/next cards. Check the comments for any additional guidance from maintainers.
