For that > point, it needs to show the whole key binding. I don't really understand what you mean. What's the point of saying "you can get the same effect by hitting M-g d" when the user has just hit M-g d anyway ? In menubar entries, it makes sense because we list equivalent but *different* key sequences. For example, we never list because that's not a different binding and would thus be redundant. Similarly, listing M-g in the above HierarKey prompt is redundant. Stefan
