Bug Description
When I press Alt+F2 to start an application (e.g. "firefox") I want to be able to navigate the search results from my keyboard in a simple way (e.g. by pressing Tab). Arrow keys are no solution for that because you have to move the hand which makes the usage of Alt+F2 slower than moving the hand to the mouse and clicking in the wanted search result.
Tab is now used for switching the different lenses. Switching lenses by keyboard is nice, but I think navigating results has higher priority because I pressed Alt+F2 to start an application and not to switch to some music or video lens.
At least this should be customizable somewhere in the settings.

In my case, pressing tab takes me to the results. Which version of Unity/Ubuntu are you running?
