aria-expanded, is escape key enough?

Hey,

So I have an expanded menu, and if a user clicks an escape key it will
close the menu. Unfortunately I don't have a really great place to put
the information that the escape key will close the menu because the
menu is quite verbose, adding more info just seems like it will be
overkill - is this expected behavior or will people not realize that
the escape key will close the menu - will they at least hope and
expect it does?  Should I provide a button inside the expanded area to
close the expanded area so that you can navigate through the menu and
then get the message that you can close the menu with the button?

Thanks,
Bryan Rasmussen
