Not always. It depends on whether there are alternatives for the 'l'
hotkey (depends on the locale). If there are none it will open the
submenu immediately and move the focus into it.

If there are multiple alternatives then no. Because you are probably
going to press the hotkey multiple times and when it suddenly opens the
submenu and highjacks the focus, that would be hardly user-friendly.

What do you mean? You can enter and collapse submenues with left/right
arrow buttons on your keyboard... that is what '>' icon indicates.
Pretty intuitive, IMHO.

As said, it works with left/right cursor button just naturally, and has
done so since I can remember.

Any other objections remaining?
