I do not have any strong opinion about the wording.
Could you update the patch so the wording is understandable? I am not good
at UI-friendly designs :)

Exactly, I wanted to avoid unnecesary menu items. If it was single inset
one of the open/close items could be hidden, but not with many items...
And again no strong opinions here; since no one objected during last 6 years
it's probably only my issue and I am happy not to touch UI in master
if lfun is made available for keybinding.
