Severity: wishlist

The help for `buffer-menu' currently looks a bit off:

    In Buffer Menu mode, the following commands are defined:

    q    Remove the Buffer Menu from the display.
    RET  Select current line’s buffer in place of the buffer menu.
    o    Select that buffer in another window,
         so the Buffer Menu remains visible in its window.
    V    Select current line’s buffer, in View mode.
    M-x Buffer-menu-view-other-window  Select that buffer in
         another window, in ‘view-mode’.

The last entry there looks a bit off (see it in context).  I see two
solutions:

  1. Add some keybinding for `Buffer-menu-view-other-window'.
  2. Move `Buffer-menu-view-other-window' last.

I have no preferences here, but it would be good to do one of them.
