When a single node is selected the arrow keys can be used to jump to the next node in the direction pressed. All good. However this also happens when a group box is selected. Can it be changed to select the next group instead?

I know groups are created and handled in a funky way (as mentioned by Nick on his wonderful livestreams), so it may not be possible with the current codebase. I like to align groups and this would make it a little easier.
