Convenience!

Research direction
Investigate the property editing widget in Tiled, likely in `src/tiled/propertyeditordock.cpp`. Look for how double click is currently handled for property values. To implement double click on property keys, you need to add an event filter or override the `edit()` method on the key item. Check the `PropertiesModel` and the associated tree view for existing double click behavior.
