 * Hi!
 * I like this theme for my web site, but I have found that it has an accessibility
   problem with dropdown menus. It only display them when you make a mouse over 
   action on the primary element, and it looks like there is not another way to 
   do it.
 * I’m looking for a solution, plugin or source code, to solve this problem. Maybe
   something like displaying dropdown menus when the keyboard focus is on the primary
   element too. Does someone know any solution? Is it in the roadmap for future 
   versions? I think it is a minor effort improvement.

 * Hi,
 * if you would like to add an arrow symbol after a parent menu item to inform visitors
   that there is a submenu, you can put the following code after the Navigation 
   Label text:
 * `<i class="arrow_carrot-down" aria-hidden="true"></i>`
 * Or you can use the [Max Mega Menu](https://wordpress.org/plugins/megamenu/) plugin.
 * Best regards,
    Tomas Toman
