I can use up and down once I click on `File' - but I can't use
left/right to go between edit and file.

I also still can't figure out how to make Alt+F drop down file. 
Inside your example, I'd like to be able to press Alt+F, Down, Enter
in that sequence to open a file...

Thanks for all your help, Hidetoshi
