Here is a suggestion for improving menu clarity.
The files at 'Open Leo File>' are all preceded by Open
The same principle can be applied to some parts of the Help menu
I think the 5 Open file menu items under Cmds> Files and Directories> Open should be considered for removal.Opening the files are not commands, but all other entries are.
Consider that users already have 2 menu routes to these leo files viaFile> Open Leo File> CheatSheet.leo
LeoDocs.leoLeoDist.leo
leoPluginsRef.leo
etcand
Help> CheatSheet.leo
LeoDocs.leo
quickstart.leo
For example, @item open-cheat-sheet-leo in leoSettings.leo has this body:
&CheatSheet.leo
.....
Yes, technically they are commands and in your example you use the keyboard directly, not the menu.
In the context of a menu they appear as a File Open menu operation. They seem duplicated and out of position.
Under a Cmds heading the display should be the actual commands:
open-cheat-sheet-leo
open-leo-plugins-leo
open-LeoDocs-leo
open-quickstart-leo
open-scripts-leo
Further, a better learning opportunity for newbies would be a 'Help-for-Menus' entry to show the menu coding. HTH with that if you like :)
This is a discussion about menus, not commands.

A help-for command would not good--the information is for devs, not newbies.
Under a Cmds heading the display should be the actual commands:
open-cheat-sheet-leo
open-leo-plugins-leo
open-LeoDocs-leo
open-quickstart-leo
open-scripts-leo

leoSettings.leo should document @menu and @item in direct children of the node called: `About this file, leoSettings.leo`.
I thought they were there, but apparently not.
See #529...also recommends a new help-for-settings command.
All working except for 2:
