I can assure you that press-select-release semantics for popup menus is very
common, and has been for several decades. Most applications also support the
click-select-click model.
However, I think we largely agree that the current buffer and face menus are of
limited utility and that their bindings should not be considered sacred
territory.

Finally something we seem to agree on.

Thank you; it's not very convenient on my keyboards, so I'd rather use
control-meta, but plain meta is of course better still.
In decreasing order of preference: meta, control, shift, control-meta,
shift-meta, shift-control.
