I found it and now grasp the menu concept...

You are right, I was blind, somehow. What I suggest, now, after
re-reading a bit what's there, is some formatting change. Whole
'Controlling the OSD: Keyboard' part is one bullet under one paragraph.
Just some indented file names, command examples etc. Maybe that's
actually reason I did not find it at the first glance.

As accessing menu (using tab or ins key) is the most important
information in this paragraph, it should have been properly
highlighted. That's all.
