Severity: wishlist
The help for `buffer-menu' currently looks a bit off:
In Buffer Menu mode, the following commands are defined:
q Remove the Buffer Menu from the display.
RET Select current line’s buffer in place of the buffer menu.
o Select that buffer in another window,
so the Buffer Menu remains visible in its window.
V Select current line’s buffer, in View mode.
M-x Buffer-menu-view-other-window Select that buffer in
another window, in ‘view-mode’.
The last entry there looks a bit off (see it in context). I see two
solutions:
1. Add some keybinding for `Buffer-menu-view-other-window'.
2. Move `Buffer-menu-view-other-window' last.
I have no preferences here, but it would be good to do one of them.

How about removing it from the list? Isn't 'o' enough?

'o' doesnʼt put the buffer in `view-mode'. We could bind it to 'O'
(and while weʼre at it we should reorder things so that eg 'v' and 'V'
are next to each other. And use either "View mode" or `view-mode'
consistently)

I bound it to "O".

So I tried cleaning that up a little bit.
See commit e769a8eb44. With that, I'm closing this bug.
