I asked this on the blender stack exchange and decided to try building it myself: https://blender.stackexchange.com/q/249709/70346
Sometimes you are working with a string or path and you want to conveniently select the next or previous vertex. This plugin works by picking the next or previous available vertex in a mesh during edit mode.
Blender 3.0.0+ (Tested in LTS)
- Download Latest Release https://github.com/dancrew32/blender_vertex_traversal/archive/refs/tags/v1_2.zip

- Enable "Vertex Traversal" add-on.
- Observe "Vertex Traversal" panel in 3D View during Edit Mode (see usage).
