Very nice plugin! I second Jorn's thought on the usage of both modes. I found myself slightly confused at first when I went into keyboard mode and couldn't click on anything. Seems to be an issue too when you click on the arrow, the menu is expanded and then you proceed to click on the white area that would normally trigger the keyboard mode.
I know Safari wasn't in your list of supported browsers, but I did notice that the keyboard mode didn't seem to work correctly in Safari 3.1 on OS X. Safari has a fairly decent user base, especially amongst the jQuery crowd and I could see this as advantageous to you to get the plugin more circulated. All in all, excellent plugin - I will likely use it on a project of my own.
