By pressing the Application/Menu key ==>> https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Menu_key

Shift+F10 does the same, which I use on my Surface Go and Alien Alpha

No, a context menu is almost always better, a) all options are shown, b) any that are not available are greyed out, c) if an option does have a shortcut it is shown… which acts a reminder.

Yep tried that

Open Sigil user guide and press F8, arrow down to Creator:

The problem is, as you alluded to before, the → and ← are serving two purposes:

1. to expand and collapse a branch
2: to move between the Name and Value columns.

How about using the ↓ and ↑ keys to expand and collapse a branch.

Nah, that won't work either… how about Ctrl+→ and Ctrl+← to expand and collapse.
