Menu:
If a menu bar item has focus and the menu is not open, then:
- Enter, Spacebar, and the up down arrow keys opens the menu and places focus on the first menu item in the opened menu or child menu bar.
- Left or right arrow keys move focus to the adjacent menu bar item.
When a menu is open and focus is on a menu item in that open menu, then
- Enter or Spacebar invokes that menu action (which may be to open a submenu).
- Up or down arrow keys cycles focus through the items in that menu.
- Escape closes the open menu or submenu and returns focus to the parent menu item.
If the menu item with focus has a submenu, pressing Enter, Spacebar, or the right arrow key opens the submenu and puts focus on the first submenu item.
When a submenu is open and focus is on a menu item in that submenu:
- Up or down arrow keys cycle through the submenu items (behaves the same as open menu).
- Escape or the left arrow key closes the submenu and returns focus to the parent menu item.
