// * user can use Tab to focus in the dropdown, then the dropdown menu (list) will be shown
// * user presses Tab on the focused dropdown to move focus to next sibling focusable element (but not the menu item)
// * user can use arrow key Up/Down to navigate between menu items
// * when user presses Enter:
// - if the menu item is clickable (eg: <a>), then trigger the click event
// - otherwise, the dropdown control (low-level code) handles the Enter event, hides the dropdown menu
// TODO: multiple selection is not supported yet.
