1) The button should be in the tab order (i.e. "tabindex=0"). 2) When the button has focus, space or enter or down arrow should open the menu. 3) The user should be able to arrow down/up through the menu. 4) The currently-selected menu item should be invokable with space or enter. 5) The ESC key should dismiss the menu. See the "Keyboard Interaction" section of: http://www.w3.org/WAI/PF/aria-practices/#menubutton
6) The user should be able to type Shift+F10 on the currently-selected menu item to bring up the browser menu so that they can, for example, select "Open link in new tab".
7) Typing N, R, H, S when the menu is open should close the menu and go to Navigator, Repositories, Shell, Sites (respectively).
1) is now fixed - button is in tab order. 2) is still a problem. There is no keyboard way to drop down the menu. 3) is still a problem also (arrow keys should navigate through items), although interestingly, the items can be navigated with the tab key because they are links, and then they can be activated with Enter. 4) the currently-selected menu item can be activated with Enter, but we still need to make space key work. 5) still a problem - ESC needs to close the menu. 6) shift+F10 does open the browser's context menu, although the browser must not think these elements are true links because it opens the wrong context menu (i.e. there's no open in new tab, etc. menu item). 7) still need to handle first letter access keys.
