Description

Proposal Summary

We can currently use the left and right arrows to go to the previous and next sample. It would be very useful if we could also go to the previous and next media field of a sample (e.g. by using page up and page down).

Motivation

This feature would make switching between media field faster, since we currently have to click a couple boutons (which is pretty slow).

Research direction
The current left/right arrow shortcuts for navigating samples likely exist in the app's frontend codebase. Look for a file that handles keyboard events, possibly in a component responsible for sample navigation. Add new key bindings (PageUp and PageDown) to switch between media fields. Ensure consistency with existing shortcut patterns and consider accessibility. There are no existing PRs or comments on this issue.
