Keyboard shortcut to openmake a drop-downselection from a dropdown list for cell values in Google Docs spreadsheets

I'm working in a Google Docs spreadsheet whereSheets and I've set up validation lists forin a column. When I tab into that column as I'm editing a row, the drop-downdropdown handle appears:

Selected cell with drop-down list handle

In order to access values from the list, I have to move my hand from the keyboard to the mouse and then use the mouse to select the appropriate value.

I looked at the spreadsheet docs, but the only thing I saw in there was how to create these cells.

Is there a keyboard shortcut to make a selection from the dropdown?
