D-Pad Up/Down - Move Up/Down one line

D-Pad Left/Right - Move Up/Down one screen, To the Top/Bottom (for lists)

Known issues

Screen flickers sometimes, especially in system dialogs - in extreme cases may black out every other keypress (seems to be a vsync problem).

Strings with non-Latin characters contain glitches (should be blank).

New bug in the Categories view: Using L/R Trigger to skip to Previous/Next letter does not scroll properly if the new selection is offscreen.
