`C-h f facemenu-set-invisible' says that the command is bound to
<C-down-mouse-2> <sp> v, <menu-bar> <edit> <props> <sp> v.
Good luck trying to understand that, Ms User. And yet it is so close.
This would be a lot more helpful for users if we simply used reasonable
names for the menu-item pseudo-function keys. Instead of <sp> use
<special-properties> and things suddenly become much clearer. Likewise,
use <text-properties> instead of <props>. Likewise, use <invisible>
instead of just [?v].
There is no reason to take shortcuts coding this kind of thing. Keep
in mind that the names used for menu-item keys are part of the user
interface. Please make an effort to provide names that help users
instead of just looking for a quick abbreviation.
