Hi Jacqui,

Once a menu has been clicked on or opened using Alt/F (for the File
Menu) I want to be able to navigate within the menu using the Up and
Down Arrow Keys, or go to the next menu with the Right Arrow key.
This is a common method used by Window's users. I remember some time
back that we could do the same on Macs. I'm not a keyboard person
myself, so I'd actually forgotten about this technique.

If the menu group is set as the stack's menubar, the arrow keys work automatically the way you want without any scripting.If the menu has focus, the arrow keys should work as-is. (I just tried it in a new stack in Windows 7.) You may have some handlers that are interfering. If you have an arrowkey handler, check to see if the target is your menubar group and just pass arrowkey if that's the case.
