notebook: "Down_Arrow" on last line of cell should move to end of line

[bfroehle]

In a notebook cell, while the cursor is somewhere in the middle of the final line of a cell, hitting ↓ currently moves to the next cell. I would have expected it to move to the end of the line, or the next cell if it already at the end of the line.

In addition, I would also expect ⇧ Shift-↓ to select from the current location to the end of the line.

Edit: I've updated this to reflect @minrk's comments.

This isn't quite accurate - when the cursor is in the bottom of the cell and you press down, the cursor moves to the next cell.

I have the same expectation, but any fix should include down from the end of the last line behaving the same as down does now.

@minrk: not sure I am following you. When I tested this PR I saw the
following:

• If you press DOWN while on the last row, you first go to the EOL.
• If you press DOWN again, you go to the next cell.

Do you see something different?

I haven't looked at the PR, only read this Issue, which had an inaccurate description of what currently happens. If the PR does behave like that, then that's great!
