"this" refers to keyboard shortcuts for radio buttons.

How about making the down arrow key move the focus back down into the hier-list, selecting the first thing and making the up arrow key move the focus back down into the hier-list, selecting the last thing. As far as getting outside of the hier-list, up from the topmost entry could move the radio button selection and down from the bottom-most could move the radio button selection too.
