The selection in the autocompletion popup list should be able to cycle:
if the first item is selected and I press the UP Arrow key, the selection should go to the last item;
and similarly, if the last item is selected and I press the DOWN Arrow key, the selection should go to the first item.
I know, I can use PageUp and PageDown to make jumps in the list but it's more convenient to use the arrow keys only.

And a related request:
The RIGHT Arrow key should be accepted as the completion key. This way it would be very easy to quickly make the completion with my fingers on the arrow keys.

    Thank you for the reply.
    I understand your reasons for not implementing wrap-around by default, but maybe it would be useful as an optional feature for many users.

    An option doesn't appear to be worth the effort of implementation and maintenance to me.
