Bug Description

The package operations shortcuts tend to follow the standard ones (e.g Del to Remove, Shift+Del to completely remove), but for Package properties the shortcut is Ctrl+O, however in nautilus, eog, and maybe others the properties for the currently selected item can be opened with Alt+Enter. So I suggest changing the shortcut to Alt+Enter, as it's not used for anything, and it would be nice to be consistent with other apps whenever possible.
