Synopsis: Keyboard navigation is non-standard in the Debugger Objects tree

Description
In the Project Settings and Preferences windows, and elsewhere such as in the Class tool, I can open and close grid tree nodes via the following keystrokes:

* Right arrow
* Left arrow
* Numeric+Plus
* Numeric+Minus
* Numeric+Star

These are standard in Windows tree view controls, and I greatly appreciate that they now work correctly.

The debugger's Objects tool does not work, however. To open and close nodes there, I have to hit the Enter key. Like any such inconsistency, adjusting to it is time-wasting, distracting and annoying.

That's great news, Jocelyn. It's a pleasant surprise to learn that this will be in the final 6.0 release!
