Move focus in Aperture.

Question

Hi. How can I move the focus in Aperture using the keyboard?
Specifically, I often want to move the focus to the "Add Keyword" field on the Control Bar, then enter keywords, then return the focus to the Browser. Currently I have to use the mouse cursor to move the focus.
Similarly, I would like to move the insertion point to a field in the Metadata tab of the Inspector, type a field entry, and then return the focus to the Browser.
Typically I forget at some point to click to return the focus to the Browser, type (for instance) "{Shift}+i", and enter "I" in the field instead of toggling the Inspector. The "Add Keyword" field auto-completes, which means then must delete the entry in the field and then move the focus back to the Browser.
A partial work-around would be being able to advance the Browser selection while keeping the focus in a field. I recall reading how to do this, but I haven't re-discovered it.
All of this is part of my attempt to make key-wording in Aperture speedy and bump-less. I'm still trying. Any suggestions are appreciated. TIA.

Hi Kirby
To get the focus in the 'Add Keyword' field on the Control Bar you can use Alt-N (in the menu under 'Metadata' ->'New Keyword'). I just discovered this some days ago because I meant that this command really creates a new keyword
