This report is about panel, not KMenu. The wish in details:
a) when KMenu is closed maintain "focus" on KMenu icon on panel
b) allow using arrows so the "focus" can be moved through all plasmoids on panel
c) allow tab for panel-focus switching
d) make the enter a "launch" action for item that has "focus"
e) escape key - panel looses "focus"

This way user is not stuck when the mouse dies and still can use KDE using keyboard.

Hello!

This feature request was filed for KDE Plasma 4, which reached end-of-support status in August 2015. KDE Plasma 5's desktop shell has been almost completely rewritten for better performance and usability, so it is likely that this feature request is already implemented in Plasma 5, or is no longer applicable.

Accordingly, we hope you understand why we must close this feature request. If the requested feature is still desired but not implemented in KDE Plasma 5.12 or later, please feel free to open a new ticket in the "plasmashell" product after reading https://community.kde.org/Get_Involved/Bug_Reporting

If you would like to get involved in KDE's bug triaging effort so that future mass bug closes like this are less likely, please read https://community.kde.org/Get_Involved#Bug_Triaging

Thanks for your understanding!
