I can't answer your question, but perhaps I can point you in some directions
to investigate (you might have done some of these already).

First, use freeride's databus inspector (when you are running freeride) --
it in the tools menu. then inspect the databus subtree at "/system/ui/keys".
There you will find all of the current key bindings. As a simple experiment,
you could try adding a new node using "Tab", "TAB" or "tab", just to see if
one of them works.

You could also look at "freeride/plugins/rubyide_commands/key_manager.rb",
but you probably won't find much there as it mostly initializes key bindings
on the databus.

You could also debug a running instance of freeride stopping on one of the
commands that has a key binding that is not on one of the menus, then look
at the stack to see the control flow and inspect that code.

Good luck,
Curt
