So if you select the File/Open item with the mouse and then press the x key, then you have bound x to the command which invokes File/Open. What does the user do, physically, to "select" a menu item with the mouse but not actually invoke it? We could probably make an Emacs command easily enough that makes a key binding by copying another key binding. The second key sequence could be a menu item. That would not be the exact same interface but it would provide the same feature and it would fit Emacs better. Is that good enough? What I would really like is to integrate customization of key bindings in to Custom.
