KEYNAV: when focus is in Places, hitting Enter should switch to the file list

Right now it's pretty hard to switch from the Places sidebar to the file list once you have keynav-ed with the Up/Down keys to the desired shortcut. Hitting Enter should take you to the file list (right now it does nothing). See also bug #161489 about using the Left/Right arrow keys to switch between the Places sidebar and the file list.
This seems to work now. Markind as fixed.
