 You can call AddAdditionalSelectItemKeys() to add additional keys that can be
-used to select any item (in addition to Enter).  That function takes an array,

+of characters, and the keys are case-sensitive.  For example, to add the key E
+to select an item:
+lbMenu.AddAdditionalSelectItemKeys("E");
 To make a case-insensitive verison, both the uppercase and lowercase letter

-lbMenu.AddAdditionalSelectItemKeys(["E", "e"]);
+lbMenu.AddAdditionalSelectItemKeys("Ee");

 function), the lastUserInput property will have the user's last keypress.
