Describe the request

Convert all commands listed in the "Keyboard Shortcuts" view to the user friendly command name format.

🙂 The "Keyboard Shortcuts" view will be more readable and approachable to users.

Describe the current behavior

Arduino IDE has a convenient GUI for discovering and customizing keyboard shortcuts. It consists of a table of "commands". The command names will be the user's only indication of what the keyboard shortcut does.

🙁 The names of many of the most important commands have a hyphenated form that is less approachable to the user.

To reproduce

  1. Select File > Advanced > Keyboard Shortcuts from the Arduino IDE menus.
    A "Keyboard Shortcuts" view will open in the main panel.
  2. In the "Search keybindings" field of the view, type arduino
