- On a text terminal, you can use the menu bar by typing @kbd{M-`} or
-@key{F10} (these run the command @code{tmm-menubar}). This lets you
-select a menu item with the keyboard. A provisional choice appears in
-the echo area. You can use the up and down arrow keys to move through
-the menu to different items, and then you can type @key{RET} to select
-the item. Each menu item is also designated by a letter or digit
-(usually the initial of some word in the item's name). This letter or
-digit is separated from the item name by @samp{=>}. You can type the
-item's letter or digit to select the item.
