I have a vague recollection of Cmd-, being an established shortcut for 
shifting focus to palettes, specifically those serving a sort of 
Inspector role where text entry would be needed.

It may be that I'm thinking of an old version of the Mac HIG long since 
revised, but I do know that for many years it was also part of the Adobe 
internal design guidelines (though it's been so long since I've been a 
beta tester for them I can't say whether they still rely on that shortcut).

Still, may be worth a little research before relying on it.  If we find 
any significant number of apps using that for shifting focus to palettes 
it may be useful to adopt that for the same purpose in LC.

And if not, we may still want a keyboard shortcut for shifting focus to 
the Inspector given that nearly ever newly-created object will need to 
be named and at the moment we have no guidance on that provided by the 
UI, instead needing to double-click, manually aim, click, and drag to 
select the name, and only then can we start typing.
