Proposed Functionality

In the Rack view there are Next Rack and Previous Rack buttons to cycle through racks in a site. These are quite useful, however similar functionality is missing from other screens. I would suggest adding this to the Device view in order to allow you to cycle through other devices in the same rack.

Use Case

When making a change I often find it is a change that affects a number of devices that are physically next to each other in the same rack. It would save some clicks to be able to go direct to the next device in the rack having completed an edit.
