I agree that brackets are confusing since some menu entries use
brackets for other purposes (for instance, "Postscript Print Buffer (B+W)"
displays "(B+W)" on the right side that looks like a key binding).
Maybe a better format would be the same as used in the Emacs documentation
with single quotes like `C-x C-w'? This still causes less noise than
brackets.
