Well, CUA keys are CUA keys, so it is self-explanatory, and if someone
doesn't know what it is, and for some reason don't want to look for
explanation in the manual/internet, then tooltip comes to the rescue.

So what?  The tooltip will give them a tip about what it is.


In my opinion, these menu entry name & manual changes are unnecessary.
