Allow for (expanded) Keyboard Arrow support in the Node Search UI #2526

Description

@mrjschulte

When dragging in a new/empty "noodle" to the schematic, or just right clicking on the schematic, causes the node Search UI dialog to pop up where we can then search for a node.

This operation forces the user to remove their hand from the mouse and type with both hands on the keyboard to have the appropriate nodes/options to display in the Search UI. Being able to the subsequently also use the arrow keys to quickly move through the list of presented/filtered nodes and confirm a selection with a quick "Enter" press saves much time when quickly laying down nodes.

Currently having to move your hands off of the keyboard and back to the mouse to then select the node among the Search results for what you've just typed (ie. color) just feels like a Ux disconnect that can be made to work smoother.
