(Describe Key) > > Maybe it would be better to call it: > > Describe Key or Menu Item But we already have such a menu item, it's called "Describe Key" and can be found right below "What's This?".

Consequently, I don't see any reason to change anything in that menu. > What is this "this" that is referred to in "What's this?"?
