We currently support keyboard navigation for menus within a dropdown element. However, keyboard navigation for a standalone menu is not yet supported. Consider the following markup:

<nav>

<ul role="menu">

    <li role="none><a role="menuitem">Item 1</a></li>

    <li role="none><a role="menuitem">Item 2</a></li>

</ul>

</nav>

When keyboard-only users encounter this, they may expect that the menu can be interacted on using arrows/home/end keys as specified in the Menu and Menubar Pattern.

We need to provide generic keyboard navigation support for menus in general and not just for dropdown menus.
