    Adding hotkey to a menu

      Is it possible to add a hotkey to a dropdown menu? So for example "alt+f" would open the 'File' dropdown menu? I've looked at the documentation for rich:hotkey, and it looks promising, but what would the handler be? rich:dropdownmenu doesn't seem to have a Javascript API to be invoked.

      Thanks,
      Dave Derry

          <script type="text/javascript">
 function newM(){
 #{rich:element('new')}.onclick();
 }
 </script>
 <rich:hotKey handler="newM();return false;" key="ctrl+up"/>

          and 
          ...
 <rich:menuItem submitMode="ajax" value="New" id="new"
 action="#{ddmenu.doNew}" icon="/images/icons/create_doc.gif">
...


          works for me

            Thanks Ilya. That looks like it's just what I need. I'll give it a shot.
