[Res] better keyboard support for Get Data context menu

I would like to be able to scroll up/down in getData context menu.
justification : if there is longer test (like more than hundred of test steps), it's hard to select correct test step in context menu using mouse because it scrolls so fast and its pretty easy to hover outside context menu which will close it entirely. If there would be better keyboard support then it would be easy to properly select desired step and property using just keyboard
current solution : it's possible to navigate via keyboard but just within visible items. If user wants to select row bellow, focus will be set to top row
desired solution : it's possible to scroll up and down freely using keyboard

thanks in advance

    I can't make screenshot with context menu visible so I'll try to describe...

    1 - have some test case with 30+ steps
    2 - somewhere (e.g. in groovy script) call getData context menu
    3 - there will be visible steps 1-25 (for example)
    4 - it is not possible to select step 26 via keyboard
    5 - only one way how to make step 26 visible is hover mouse over arrow. If there is lot of steps (150 or so), this mouse scrolling is very fast so it's very hard to stop it at correct place
