A presentation of menu that usually remains visible and is usually presented horizontally.
The menubar role is used to create a menu bar similar to those found in Windows, Mac, and Gnome desktop applications. A menu bar is used to create a consistent set of frequently used commands. Authors should ensure that menubar interaction is similar to the typical menu bar interaction in a desktop graphical user interface.
To be keyboard accessible, authors should manage focus of descendants for all instances of this role.
