Select next/previous glyph

Fixes #1703

[justvanrossum]

The order of the glyphMap does not really have a meaning, and is more or less undefined, so what this ends up doing is mostly accidental, even if it may happen to work somewhat. It may depend on how the backend prepares the list.

It is notably not the same order as what you see in the search list, which is sorted according to certain criteria, also taking the code point(s) into account.

So, as it stands, I am not in favor of this feature, and it requires more thought and design to properly define what it should do in the first place.

Some notes from todays meeting:

• this whole topic somehow relates to 'Font overview' Font Overview view plugins #102
• idea from @JeremieHornus : map of glyph to navigate through

Should the sorting be equal to the 'Glyph Search' sidebar?

• if you search for 'A' -> should it go through the selection only?
• future ideas for 'Search Glyph': search for categories like scripts. eg only show Cyrillic glyphs
  -> should next/previous glyph then also go through this category only?

Please check if the shortcuts commandKey + arrowLeft/Right work for Firefox and Safari also.

@justvanrossum I checked the shortcuts commandKey + arrowLeft/Right in Chrome, Firefox and Safari and it works in all browsers.

@justvanrossum I have set this PR to 'draft', as I am not sure about the last commit. But I figured out a solution to go through the glyph-order of 'Glyph Search'-sidebar + only the glyphs which are relevant, when the search has been used. Here a short demo:
