You cannot point people towards better language without mentioning the
misleading terminology, somewhere.  How else will they know we are
talking about the same thing?

So I think if the menu help text mentions "keyboard shortcuts" in
parentheses, that would be consistent with your suggestion to teach
people a better terminology, the one adopted throughout in Emacs
documentation.  Do you agree?
