Loop while scrubbing using next frame

Loop while scrubbing using next frame

Hey TJ: One thing I really liked in Max, but can't seem to replicate in Maya is when I reach the end of the timeline while framing forward one frame at a time Max would loop back to the first frame. Maya just keeps going...is it possible to set Maya to loop back?

--

The idea here is to do that with a preference option to turn on/off looping for the NextFrame command.  So you can turn it off if you want it the way it is today, or turn it on so it loops back to the first frame (and turn that on by default out of the box).

I added my hotkeys for doing this into zMayaTools, which can be bound in place of NextFrame/PreviousFrame: https://zewt.github.io/zMayaTools/hotkeys.html. Maybe it'll be useful to whoever was asking for this.
