Nice.

And the highlight of the current menu item is also nice when TAB is used to
switch to the buttons.  As well as toggling the help text based on context.

some (invisible) prompts.  Is that correct?



I reliably (consistently) get a segfault.  I have hit it several times.
Here is one way to get it:

$ make menuconfig
and then enter:
