I actually do. Unlike menuconfig, nconfig will jump to a menu item even
if it is not currently visible in the screen. Useful if you know the
option name but don't want to scroll down and look for it. But I would
accept a patch to remove the shortcut if there is no better way of
marking the shortcuts than the capital letters.
