Hi!

Personally, I would find cycling confusing. I find the current behaviour 
intuitive, and I want to *know* when I have reached the end (or start) 
of the list.

Also, the current behaviour is the way lists works in all(?) other KDE 
applications. For example, if you press the down key when you are at the 
last file in Dolphin, the selection doesn’t move up to the first file. 
And if you press the down key (or ‘Page Down’ key) when you’re at the 
last line in Kate, the cursor doesn’t jump to the start of the file.
