In the properties view, there's no way to move from value to value using the 
keyboard. Tab, shift-tab, or up and down arrow keys should move to the next or 
previous value.

This is an accessibility issue.

The following should work:
- up/down arrow to go to next/prev property
- F2 to edit current property (this is very common in Windows)
- Enter to accept edit
- Esc to cancel edit
- Tab to go to next property

Using arrows or tab should accept any current edit.

Usability rather than accessibility issue as you can get to it via the keyboard

in eclipse 2.0 tab and shift-tab are used to navigate into and out of the property tree view. 
up and down navigate properties correctly.
