Allow on screen keyboard to cycle horizontally

RB provides user on screen keyboard to allow for naming and renaming.
First off, the laying out of the navigation with such few controls available is well done.
Takes a little while to get used to though, cannot tell you how many times I try using the MENU and PLAY buttons to try and move cursor up/down only to cancel out of the on screen keyboard :)
Not much can be done about that.

The only other habit I try to do often (that maybe can be improved upon) is to move cursor left/right at the edges, expecting the cursor to cycle to the end or beginning of that row.

Unless there is a reason I am overlooking, I am suggesting maybe can add the ability to allow for this cursor cycling left/right in rows when using LEFT and RIGHT buttons when cursor is at the beginning or end of that row.

Possible issue with this though is I have noticed that at times different on screen keyboards appear to be used.
The Rename option in the context menu is on screen keyboard provided by RB.
However, I have noticed that plugins might be using different keyboards.
For example,
I have been playing around with the "keyremap" plugin and when it asks to save results I notice that it has a different on screen keyboard layout.

If developers were to decide to add this capability, ideally would want this functionality to be available in all on screen keyboards, but not sure if each plugin / other on screen keyboards used elsewhere would have to be modified each separately?.

Thank You
