"Pacman" shortcut when (re)naming presets and snapshots

[zooey]

The main edit screen on Helix has what's been referred to as the "Pacman shortcut", where if you're on the furthest left block of a row, pushing the joystick left "wraps around", putting you on the rightmost block.

 

This suggestion is for similar behavior when naming patches and snapshots. In other words, if you're on the first character and push the joystick left, it wraps around to the right-hand end. Specifically I think it should end up on the last non-blank character of the name.

 

The main benefit is that for me at least, it's super common to save a new variation of a preset with a suffix on the end, often just a number. For example, "Some Patch Name 2". Going quickly to the last character means you only have to move right one or two characters to add the first suffix, and you don't have to move at all to change the 2 to a 3.

 

Secondary advantage is just that it makes any character effectively closer, since you can either move right normally, or wrap around if it's closer to the end.
