I see, thanks. I am actually looking these days into the code that
should implement that MSDOS-like menu look&feel into the tty, but it
should still keep the keystroke-compatibility with the tmm-menubar,
only the visual appearance of the menus should be different.

In the GUI the F10 opens the GUI menu, which is ok. The only thing I
was surprised about is that the GUI menu is not keystroke-equivalent to
the tmm-menubar.

The remap to tmm-menubar sounds like the thing I've been looking for,
I'll try it out. Thanks!

Best, :-)
