Bug Description

The latest versions of the CLI have changed a bit... Currently you must do the following:

On Suite selection screen:
arrow up and down to move through the list of suites
spacebar to select a suite
Return/Enter to continue

On Test Selection Screen:
arrow up and down to move through the list of suites
spacebar to select a test or group of tests
enter to expand or contract a group
T to continue.

The use of Enter/Return is a little confusing (I find that I repeatedly hit enter expecting to select a suite, because I'm used to the old UI method of hitting C).

In any case, usage of keys should be consistent across the UI... enter should do one thing and one thing only. T should do one thing only. etc.

The Suite Selection screen should revert to the previous behaviour of C to continue on... OR if this is just not do-able, N for "Next Screen" should be used.

If Enter is simply a must, then the test selection screen should change so that Enter now becomes "T" and the expand/contract action of groups becomes something else.
