The \tCtrl+A is ignored on the Mac (and some other platforms?) but
required on Windows if you want to see anything in the menu item.
However, it's not obvious how to specify some keys, like the arrow keys
(Left, Right, etc.), the keypad keys like keypad-0, etc., the backspace,
delete keys, and so on. Does it matter how they are specified or is the
text just copied to the right side of the item? If it doesn't matter
programmatically, there must still be a style guide somewhere. If it
does, there must be a list. Looking for one or the other.
Thanks.

Dare I hope for a response? Maybe it is a dumb question and maybe I'm an
old dog who should know better, but I still don't know the answer. Thanks.
