Add j/k navigation for multiple-choice prompt UI in the CLI #4152

Closed

Description

@paulduncan-agfa

Describe the feature or problem you'd like to solve

Lots of applications use keyboard-friendly vi-like navigation. It would be great to be able to use j/k to navigation multiple choice options

Proposed solution

When seeing a menu like this, let j and k do the same thing as up and down.
