It is not possible to reach the menu bar via keyboard while text typing. After typing to Tab - all focus areas are gone, and menu bar is automatically closed. If text field was empty - text selection dissapers too.

Research direction
Start by reproducing the keyboard flow in the whiteboard while typing in a text field, then inspect the menu and focus handling involved. Done means Tab can reach the menu while text is being entered, the menu remains available, and text selection is preserved when the field is empty.
