Left and right arrow keys in tree-type lists

Summary:

Arrow keys do nothing in XML editor.

Steps to reproduce:

  • open Inkscape
  • Go to XML Editor
  • Select a tree element and press left or right arrow key

What happened?

  • Nothing

What should have happened?

  • The list should collapse/expand with the left/right arrow keys respectively.
  • Pressing the left arrow key on a (collapsed) element should move to it's parent.

Maybe:

  • Pressing the right arrow key on an expanded parent might move to the first child.

Scrolling around a large list is frustrating. Going directly to the parent element would be a nice enhancement.
