I set an
onKeyDown
event on both menu levels, if the ESC key is pressed, the second level of the menu gets collapsed. I also made the overlay focusable, so if the user goes through the menu, it gets collapsed before the user can enter the main content area.With the current implementation there's one catch though: if the user expands the second level and starts moving on the menu items with the keyboard backwards (SHIFT+TAB), it can go around and can get to the main content area without collapsing. I have a few ideas about how this could be solved:
window.onblur
and collapse the menu (alt+tab would also collapse the menu)Parent issue #7358
