Description
If a menuitem is hooked up to open a submenu:
- Should hovering or clicking invoke the submenu? Should it be developer controllable?
- Should keyboard focus open the submenu, or should you have to focus and then press another keyboard button to open the submenu?
- Where should keyboard focus go when the submenu is invoked?
Does interesttarget already have answers to all of these questions? If so, how could we ergonomically combine interesttarget with however we hook up the association between a menuitem and submenu?
