no quick way to keyboard navigate out of long lists #2344

What happened?

It is annoying to use the keyboard to navigate out of long lists (as used in the language lists).

This is a regression compared to the Legacy Installer.

What was expected?

I think these lists should not use Tab but just arrow keys and allow tab to cycle to the next widget.

By the way, GTK allows exiting out of "controls" that themselves use the Tab button with the special keyboard shortcut Ctrl+Tab. But I don't think we even need to do that here since we don't need to use Tab in the list widget itself.

Steps to reproduce

This happens again on the Keyboard layout screen with the list of languages.
