I was talking about the Find button.  I think I know what F does.

That does sound useful.  I guess you do it with first Find button the
Ctrl-F?  The behavior I get is:

     F: first clear everything "connected" i.e. found with F or Ctrl-F
(green) or Find button (pink), then green-highlight all copper
connected to the hovered point (modulo some bugs)

     Ctrl-F: clear nothing, then add to to the green set set all
copper connected to the hovered point

     Find: clear all green and pink, then highlight everything
connected to anything connected to the selected net

     Shift-F: clear all green and pink

Its a useful set of operations but confusing.  It took me a while to
learn about Ctrl/Shift-F and I only learned about the slightly
different F operation from you this thread (though I see its in the
Key Bindings menu item).  It would have saved a lot of fumbling
between Shift-F and Ctrl-F :)  Maybe F should get a menu entry next to
Ctrl-F under Connects menu?

Am I correct in thinking that things only appear under Key Bindings if
they don't have a binding described elsewhere in the menu hierarchy?

I'd like the more obscure elements in the menus/hotkeys to be less
forbidding to learn hence tooltip effort.  What do you think of
putting everything in the hotkeys menu, regardless of whether it
appears somewhere else as well?  Any other suggestion on how best to
proceed?
