Tab key support

When I set up a new session from a template, it takes a lot of time to rename all tracks, because I cannot simply tab through the track headers but have to use the mouse and set the focus manually for each and every track before I can edit the label.
 
A minor change like this would be a BIG improvement in usability IMO, especially for those who create a lot of sessions.

    You can name tracks without touching your mouse at all.

    Right, TAB won't do it.  BUT, once you are focused on a control (e.g. track name) you can use the down/up arrow keys, to go to that control in the next/previous track ... which works just like you want TAB to.

    Thanks, that does help. It's not as comfortable as the TAB key (because the cursor keys aren't as close), but definitely much better than using the rat. :)
