David,
There was an article in Advisor a while back that showed how to make an autofill Combo class. I think its the perfect control for mouseless entry. If you know the code for the field, you just press the 1st couple letters then hit tab to move on. If you don't, you can hit the space bar to select from the list.

For example, in this case, since a space is not a valid character, I could programmatically trigger on receipt of space (when combobox has focus) and (theoretically) force the list open with the appropriate action...whatever that is.
