If you want to use the keyboard that badly then why aren't you just tabbing to the
combobox in the first place? 

Otherwise, if you clicked on the combo box with the mouse, then you are obviously
navigating using a mouse, and can thus change the combobox by dragging your
mousewheel much faster than you could by clicking it then using the keyboard.

I fail to see why this is a big problem.
