let me use arrow-key, rescale text in preview

[Zuhans]

hello,

at first: inkscape is wonderful and amazing.
but as always: good things can be made better :-( ;-)

so here are my suggestions with formatting text:

1. let me use arrow-(up and down)-keys when trying out
some of my fonts. now i have to click on each font i
want to see in preview. better would be, that i can
just press e.g. arrow-down and my text appears in the
next font-style in the preview window.

2. resize fonts in preview window: if i have very big
fonts i can now only see a tiny little bit of them in
preview window. maybe would it be best, if the
preview-window would be on the left side of the
choosing-options and not below (i would find it better).

1: Just press arrow and then Space in the list, you'll get
what you want.

Still repro. Pressing space is not a good enough solution as it closes the font dropdown.

Arch Linux 64-bit, KDE Plasma 5
Inkscape 0.92pre1 15054 (GTK3)

Please don't combine multiple issues. ;)

1. Using arrow up/down updates instantly in Inkscape 1.0alpha (1:0.92.0+devel+201904112206+331007d)
2. THe font preview (ctrl+t) scales down fonts to sensible size even with ridiculous font-sizes

Closing because it is fixed.
