Description Mark Macdonald CLA 2013-06-14 13:35:42 EDT 
1. Go to the navigator
2. Click the [+] menu, or select a folder/file and click the "gear" menu.
3. You can focus different menu items using the UpArrow/DownArrow keys, but it's pretty pointless because you can't actually trigger a menu item using the keyboard.

I tried Enter and Space and neither has any effect.

I want to claim that this is a regression, but I didn't test on an older version of Orion.

Note that this is dependent on the menu item.  In the user options menu the Keyboard Shortcuts and Sign Out items can be triggered by pressing space, but the other items in the same menu (and most other menu items throughout Orion) cannot.

proposed patch

Changes to commands.js address items in the gear menu, and changes to UserMenu.js are for items in the options menu.

I am fine with this.
