Title: How to enter text edit mode in Freeform (Mac) via keyboard without overwriting?
Body:
Hi everyone,
I’m struggling with a keyboard navigation issue in the Freeform app on macOS.
When I select a text box using the Tab key, I cannot find a way to start editing the existing text using only my keyboard.
- If I press Return, it deletes the current text and starts typing from scratch (overwriting mode).
- Cmd + Return doesn't seem to do anything.
- I've tried Space and F2, but neither opens the text box for editing.
I want to be able to jump into the text box and place the cursor at the end (or beginning) of the existing text without touching my mouse.
- Does anyone know the official shortcut to "enter" a text box?
- If there is no default shortcut, does anyone know the exact Menu Title for this action? I’d like to create a custom shortcut in System Settings, but I can't find a "Start Editing" or "Edit Text" command in the app's menu bar.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
