That's exactly my keybind. Happy to know it should work (so it will enventually :) )

I have focus follow mouse, this could interfere, however the arrow keys do work to navigate the menu, so I suppose it has the focus. Is it possible that e.g. firefox grabs the return key and only it ??? Or that the menu does not have focus but the arrow key still work ?

I will try to remove focus follows mouse, and also without firefox on screen.
