Bug Description
Add the ability to navigate the launcher with cursor-keys, select items and open quicklists.
As per decision in bug 728935
"The backlight-pulsing of launcher-icons is meant to be the focus-indication for the keyboard-navigation highlight... not only for launching apps. This is approved by sabdfl."

Just for reference I'm adding the proposed key-mapping to use for the launcher-
- shortcut key to jump to the launcher (ALT-F1 proposed)
- shortcut key to bring up the quicklist of currently selected icon (SHIFT F10 or CursorRight proposed)
- shortcut key to move selection up to the previous icon (CursorUp proposed)
- shortcut key to move selection down to the next icon (CursorDown proposed)
- shortcut key to close an opened quicklist (ESC or CursorLeft proposed)
- shortcut key to activate/start selected icon (RETURN or SPACE proposed)
