Ah, but this is not a good way to use the index. In fact, I should put
something like the following somewhere early in the next version of the
manual.
"If you want to find a function quickly, the quickest way to do it is to
look in the index under the various alt- and ctrl- commands. Each one of
those entries gives a short description of the command. Remembering this
can save you a lot of frustration when you want to locate a command and
can't find the "obvious" word in the index."
In the example you quote, I found the alt-= command listed as "alt-= Toggle
sidetone" in (literally) less than five seconds.
