Thanks to Ahdiaz, we now have keyboard navigation in the menu. However, it's not yet working exactly as it should. Here's a description of some of the things that are wrong:

- If you type something in the search field, and press DOWN or UP, it should focus immediately on the app box. At the moment you need to press RIGHT, and then DOWN/UP.

- If you press RIGHT/LEFT it should immediately focus out of the search field and not move its carret.

Quick examples:

- Open the menu, press UP... it should focus on Places.
- Open the menu, type "browser", press DOWN ... it should focus on Firefox
- Open the menu, type "browser", press RIGHT... it should focus on Firefox
- Open the menu, type "browser", press LEFT... it should focus on the favorites
- Open the menu, press UP.. it should focus on the places, then press LEFT, it should focus on the favorites.
- Open the menu, press LEFT, it should focus on the favorites.
