The tab key works for me in gtk3 but not gtk2.

The Enter key should not pop up the menu but confirm dialog as it does
with radio buttons, checkboxes, and what not. In textedits and
spinboxes it is optionally possible to make Enter confirm dialog (but
sadly defaults to off). Combobox does not even have the option.
Together with the broken tab navigation it gives awesome user
experience.

The Up/Down arrows do, of course, change the value. I don't happen to
have any other control to the left/right of the combobox so I did not
try these keys. I wonder if they would work in this case.

Thanks
