You use arrow keys to navigate the menu and enter/return to select an item.
Using the keyboard is the right thing.
Some X toolkits have conventions for using the keyboard to activate
menus and menu items. I am not sure what they are; do you know?
To what extent do they work with Emacs? Is your patch coherent
with them? Could it be?
