The bindings shown in menus prefer bindings of mouse clicks, which is
not necessarily helpful if the user doesn't want or is unable to use
the mouse.  We even have special commands written specifically for the
purpose of binding them in menus, and those commands are different
from their keyboard equivalents, because they are optimized to be
invoked by mouse through the menu.
