Tree View Values

[Brian Milby]

There is already a PR merged into 9.1 that will auto select the text of any
field in the PI when you enter it via tab.  This also selects the key field
in the Custom Properties inspector when the highlight changes.  If you tab
into the value, then the value is selected.

Changing the logic to select a non-empty value field in the PI probably
wouldn't be that hard, but would then introduce a difference in behavior
that may not always be desirable.

Having a new key when added get selected is the next thing I'm working on,
but that is proving to be a little bit more of a challenge.  Having the
tree widget highlight a new sub-key was easy.  Top level keys are proving
to be a little more difficult.  The current PI code doesn't like the
highlight change though.
