Bug, feature request, or proposal:

Use up and down arrow keys to activate select menus and remove return as an activator.

What is the expected behavior?

Standard html select menus are activated on down/up arrow keys and click instead of the return key. This allows return to still submit while making access to the select menu available without a mouse.

What is the current behavior?

up and down do nothing while hitting enter activates the select menu.

What is the use-case or motivation for changing an existing behavior?

accessibility in line with standard html features

Which versions of Angular, Material, OS, browsers are affected?

material2 < 2.0.0-beta.1
