- On a graphical display, you can use the mouse to choose a command
-from the menu bar. An arrow on the right edge of a menu item means it
-leads to a subsidiary menu, or @dfn{submenu}. A @samp{...} at the end

Some of the commands in the menu bar have ordinary key bindings as
well; if so, a key binding is shown in parentheses after the item
item by pressing @key{F10} (to run the command @code{menu-bar-open}).
You can then navigate the menus with the arrow keys. To activate a
selected menu item, press @key{RET}; to cancel menu navigation, press
-@key{ESC}.
-
- On a text terminal, you can use the menu bar by typing @kbd{M-`} or
-@key{F10} (these run the command @code{tmm-menubar}). This lets you
-select a menu item with the keyboard. A provisional choice appears in
-the echo area. You can use the up and down arrow keys to move through
-the menu to different items, and then you can type @key{RET} to select
-the item. Each menu item is also designated by a letter or digit
-(usually the initial of some word in the item's name). This letter or
-digit is separated from the item name by @samp{==>}. You can type the
-item's letter or digit to select the item.

+ On a text terminal, you can optionally access the menu-bar menus in
+the echo area. To this end, customize the variable
+@code{tty-menu-open-use-tmm} to a non-@code{nil} value. Then typing
+@kbd{M-`} or @key{F10} will run the command @code{tmm-menubar} instead
+of dropping down the menu. This lets you select a menu item with the
+keyboard. A provisional choice appears in the echo area. You can use

+items, and then you can type @key{RET} to select the item. Each menu
