May be we should make these buttons to look more like buttons, e.g.
[Accept Changes] [Reset Changes] [Help] Press Left arrow to escape
- i.e. enclose button names in []?
What is the dash between "Accept Changes" and "Reset Changes"?

May be "search type" will be more correct (I'm not sure)?

"Keyboard mode" is confusing - may be "Link navigation"? - anyway we have a
large space for descriptions so we can be more verbose.

May be we should be smart and create a <SELECT> for keys that have options
"VI style","Emacs style","Default".

May be "X Window Display" would be better for novice users.

May be just "Appearance"? (show color and popups for select fields applies
not only to documents (user shouldn't think that 'Options' screen is document
too)).

In general - may be it's better to make a <select> here?

May be "FTP listings sort criteria"?

May be we should indent category name or preceed it with * or make it <li>?
But in general - IMO this layout is better than existing.
