Hi Norbert,

As a newcomer, just curious about your impression of the double-key
shortcut "Ctrl/Cmd + B + M" shown against the "Implementers of..."
menu item?
Do you think you would have discovered yourself using meta+m like
Henrik describes if that was what was shown as the menu item shortcut
instead?

cheers -ben
