Not tested, but: to my knowledge though, this does not send/emulate any
particular keystroke (i.e. it doesn't "pretend" that ESC was pressed),
nor can it be detected via JavaScript.
>> Second, there's the issue of how to navigate between items within the menu. When the menu is open, swipe right and left seem to emulate down arrow by moving focus to the next or previous menu item.

Just picking up on this from Mark's original email, worth noting that
it's not emulating down arrow, but rather it's simply moving the virtual
cursor forward in the document (so akin to using AT reading keys - it's
not emulating any keystroke or anything of that nature)
