Keyboard driven menu in Jquery

I had a requirement to operate menu with keyboard just like we do in windows application. Traverse through menus using left/ right arrow keys, up/ down arrow keys should work as well. Further user should be able to navigate when Enter key is pressed. I was not able to find any jquery plugin to use for this purpose until I got this one, https://hanshillen.github.io/jqtest/#goto_menubar





This is what exactly I was looking, thanks a ton to the author. But later I realized it is not that easy to get just menu out of this. So I need to play with it and finally got it working. I am sharing code here so that if anyone ever need such type of menu it will be a quick one. This functionality is created by original author @Hans Hillen, I am just providing this code for simplicity.
