I agree with you on this, David.  I still always seem to stumble over
finding this item.  And from the error in the translated documentation that
Marcello pointed out, it looks as if MM is confused as well.  It's one thing
to muck up the UI by placing something in a questionable menu, and another
to change something users have grown accustomed to.  To hit us with both in
one move is, well, unfair.

While I'm at it, does anyone know a mac kbd command for this option, like
the one David pointed out on the windows side?
