 clicking enter opens a new page on all other sites.

 > In most menus I've seen Enter opens the sumbenu if any or "activates"
 the action if no submenu (like gmail). That's what we have at the moment.

 From my (not representative) experience it is often just not predictable.
 A menu that opens on focus is predictable – you don’t have to guess,
 because the effect is visible immediately. And it is one key stroke less.
 An online survey or other statistics cannot beat that simple logic. :)
