Comment:

 I think that this could be easily fixed by changing the UI for the
 inserter slightly. Right now, the link inserter uses a hidden input to set
 the selected item and a pair of span elements to describe the link title
 and post type. If this was changed to an input that's focusable - like a
 submit, for example, and a label to wrap everything, then native keyboard
 operation would be a viable path to make this work.
