Add Keyboard shortcuts #5

Hi,

I just tested the app - it is functional and just nice!

Yet trackpad+keyboard usability could be slightly improved, e.g. via

The rational is, that drawing in case of a trackpad+keyboard only situation, of course one has to draw with the trackpad, but clearing, scrolling the match list and selecting is faster via keyboard.

Thanks for quite the early feedback!

Esc and/or Del and/or Backspace clearing, what was drawn

Planned feature, though I'm not quite sure which key to use. It'll be in the next release.

Arrow+{Up,Down} scrolling through the match list and of course

This can already be done using the available focus system that GTK provides. Additionally, since the correct result is usually at/near the top, I don't think there is any value in providing a redundant way of scrolling the list.

hitting enter saves the selected latex command to the clipboard

That is already the case when the command is focused?
