Menu
If you launch Emacs using the -nw flag to force a console session (rather than an X session if you have X windows running), how do you get to the menu?
There are some items held in the menus that are infrequently-enough used on my part that I don't recall the escape or control sequence to do them.

Have you ever been wondering how to access the Emacs menu bar, when using Emacs in console mode? The answer is easy - press F10 or type M-x menu-bar-open(both methods work in X as well, of course).
While menu bar items vary between applications, most menu bars include the standard File, Edit, and View menus. The File menu includes common file options such as New, Open…, Save, and Print. The Edit menu contains commands such as Undo, Select All, Copy, and Paste.
M-x menu-bar-open, which is usually bound to F10. This works with and without menu-bar-mode (which just shows the names of the menus at the top of the screen).
