Philipp, is the expected behavior for keyboard interaction with these doorhangers documented anywhere?

I don't think we have detailed specs for the keyboard navigation.
Since it looks like being able to change the the content of a <select> element using the left/right arrows (in addition to the up/down arrows) is seems to be standard (at least on Windows), it makes sense to do that here as well.

Since keyboard navigation in general is perfectly possible and until someone comes up with a compelling argument why this is relevant I'm P5ing for now :)
