Keyboard navigation to the "Terminate process" and pressing Enter.

I had an issue where a game didn't allow me to use the mouse to interact with the panel. So I had to tab my way into the System Monitor.

1- Tab to "Processes" and press Enter.
2- Tab to the intended process and press Enter.
3- Tab to "Processes" and press Enter.
4- Now with the intended process already selected, Tab to "Terminate process" and press Enter.

Result:
Nothing happens.

Expected result:
1- Not needing to go to the same category twice in order to select a process AND "Terminate process".
2- The "Terminate process" button should be executed when Enter is pressed while it's selected.

You can terminate a process when it's selected using the Delete key. Get it, you're deleting the process! From there, you can tab to the right button and press it using the spacebar.
