Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/Rigellute/spotify-tui/issues/181

I cannot scroll past the "first page" of any playlist, meaning instead of scrolling through every song in the playlist, the UI loops through whatever is on the screen.

Example:
When I go to my Library/Playlist section and scroll down, everything is fine, I can scroll through all the entries. When I try to do so in the Songs section and reach the bottom entry, it just loops me back to the first song in a given playlist.

P.S.
I've looked into #150 but it doesn't seem to support actual playlists, rather lists of playlists.

This is confusing for sure - essentially there are two types of scrolling at the moment

Purely UI based
Spotify result page based

The first type currently wraps when you get to the last result. This is not intuitive for sure. When the user gets to the last result in the list, pressing down should send a request for the next result page.

I have made a bit of a mess when it comes to handling pagination, so not every screen currently supports it.

Oh, thanks for referring me to the right place, @Rigellute!

I've found out that playlist pagination has is done through control-d and control-u. Works like a charm with my playlists.

Couldn't find this info in any of the docs. I've tried README.md, ? in-app. Are there any other places that describe user controls? I could make a PR that adds this info to the docs.

This is in the help menu, but I agree it is not that clear or obvious.

Anyway, thanks for confirming that this works! Will think about how to make this more obvious.
