It did - in FPD.

Never liked Ctrl+F6 - IMO, Ctrl+F1 is better, because it can be done singlehandedly and blindfolded. I have to take a look or palpitate my way to find F6. Matter of taste and of the extent of laziness, I guess.

Sure, if you know which property has the focus... ;). Shift-arrows change the size of current control (it was ctrl+arrows in FP), ctrl-arrows also set focus to PEM window and after that all the arrows just go up/down the PEM or change the value; ctrl+left/right go to the first/last possible value if a property is a list. I think anyone can play around with this and discover neat, unexpected things :)
