+/**
+ * Mixin for keyboard navigation in dropdown menus.
+ * This can be used in any component that has a dropdown menu with <li> items.
+ * The following example shows how to use this mixin in your component:
+ * <template>
+ *   <div>
+ *     <input type="text" @keydown="menuNavigationHandler">
+ *     <ul ref="menu">
+ *       <li v-for="(item, index) in itemsToShow" :key="index" :class="isMenuItemSelected(item) ? ... : ''" @click="clickedOption($event, item)">
+ *         {{ item }}
+ *       </li>
+ *     </ul>
+ *   </div>
+ * </template>
+ *
+ * This mixin assumes the following are defined in your component:
+ * itemsToShow: Array of items to show in the dropdown
+ * clickedOption: Event handler for when an item is clicked
+ * submitForm: Event handler for when the form is submitted
+ *
+ * It also assumes you have a ref="menu" on the menu element.
