Continuous lists

Description

A suggestion of a minor but pleasant improvement:

In bookshelf and maybe other paged lists, it would be nice if the paging was continuous, so pressing Left (Previous) on the first page of the list would switch to the last page, and pressing Right (Next) would go to the first page.

Currently these keys do nothing, when there's "nowhere to go", but it would make a nice shortcut for browsing.

Change History

Ugh. Never. Usability disaster.

I often press left several times in order to end up on first page, and the same is for moving to last page. Circular lists are nightmare.

So you're safe with first and last page, but not the other ones anyway. What's so important about first and last pages that you need a "stop" sign for them?

Currently, getting to, say, page 8 is a little bothersome, so I thought this could help a bit.

They are important as they are the first and last one. Exactly as border pixels on screen as important for mouse movements.
