This is the response asked by the original poster, AFAIK.

Yes, the menu itens by default make a DO_KEY; so, the key-nn triggers catch it. BUT, by default, mouse navigation is allowed in all the forms' fields. This way, an user CAN go for another item just clicking on it. To prevent, the original poster can :

1. use post-nn triggers
2. disable mouse-navigation
3. altering mouse-events, maybe using mouse-triggers
