How about this:

S-up   : nil -> [#A] -> nil -> [#C] -> [#B] -> [#A] -> nil -> [#C] ...

S-sown : nil -> [#C] -> nil -> [#A] -> [#B] -> [#C] -> nil -> [#A] ...

So the first keypress will really get you up/down from the default
priority, and after that it is normal cycling.  Maybe it is clearer
in an example with 5 priorities, A..E, default C:

S-up : nil -> [#B] -> [#A] -> nil -> [#E] -> [#D] ->
               [#C] -> [#B] -> [#A] -> nil -> [#E] ...

Comments?
