add cursor-key navigation to quicklists

Bug Description

Add the ability to navigate open quicklists with cusor-keys and select a highlighted item with RETURN-key.

Just for reference I'm adding the proposed key-mapping to use for the quicklist-navigation:
- shortcut key to bring up the quicklist (SHIFT F10 or CursorRight proposed)
- shortcut key to move selection in quicklist up (CursorUp proposed)
- shortcut key to move selection in quicklist down (CursorDown proposed)
- shortcut key to close an open quicklist (CursorLeft or ESCAPE proposed)
- shortcut key to activate current selection in quicklist (RETURN or SPACE or shortcut-accelerator proposed)

+1 though I think we should find a good way to develop the big-picture
shortcut key mapping rather than little snippets in bugs.

Mark

If the vendor logo in the top left were to be made a "menu" it would be possible to scrub left from the "File" menu, then down the icons in the dock, and then right, and up/down through Quicklist items.

For keyboard navigation purposes the panel could then effectively be a giant menu, with the QuickLists being sub-menus.

Very interesting suggestion, Paul!

@ Mark: In the navigation for the launcher (https://bugs.launchpad.net/unity/+bug/701546) the proposed key-mappings for moving around and activating are kept as consistent as possible with the mapping for the quicklist and normal menus.

@ Paul: See the other bug on the keyboard-navigation for the launcher, which is using the same mappings for moving up/down in quicklists -> https://bugs.launchpad.net/unity/+bug/701546. Your idea sounds cool and we'll try it out when we've the normal navigation working.
