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.

  1. Does anyone know the official shortcut to "enter" a text box?
  2. 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!
