Hi,

As a new cwm user, I spent several minutes trying to figure out why the
M-question prompt wasn't launching any programs.

I smacked my forehead when I realized I was just pressing M-slash, which
happens to display a very similar prompt.

Normally I wouldn't bother posting about something this simple, but I
later came across a thread on the OpenBSD subreddit where another user
was equally confused over the same issue. [1]

I think the confusion stems from this keybinding being the only one in
the manual with an implicit modifier.
