Thank you for a fast reply and ~solution. Alt+Down is definitely better then
having to use the mouse.

Still it's a bit of a "problem" to move hand to the arrow keys.
Workaround? Well...
1. Fn+W(toggles) changes wasd to arrow keys. Not faster and more complex then
moving hand to arrows.
2. Do some rebinding of the keys as the arrows being in the "bad"
position(opinion) is not Office specific problem.
I did try rebinding but I am not having luck, hopefully will get it working at
some point. If I do the problem/inconvenience for me will be none existent.

Another option is asking for another shortcut to be implemented to do same as
Alt+Down but is easier to reach. This request would be "bad" because arrows
being in the "bad" position(opinion) is not Office specific problem. But who
know, maybe having extra key combination is not a bad idea.

As I have marked in the Importance this is not a bug report but enhancement
suggestion. Enhancement being dropdown menu activating automatically when
listbox gets focused, provided as another toggle option to turn on/off in
properties of control.
