Ah. You confirm my suspicions. There is no point in setting the Selection Keystrokes in a config block unless you know that a program other than Menuconfig will be used for configuring it. The whole point about the official definition of config blocks was that they would (very usefully) allow configuration of all programs containing the blocks by the same configuring program. Since Menuconfig does this why use other programs and what are they anyway? All my programs which can be configured assume that Menuconfig (or its younger sister, Config) will do the job.
