 works and is still indicated. But do we want to remove the menu item and
 show the keyboard shortcut on the button instead?

 I don't think the doorhanger is the best place to learn about the
 shortcut. But we can think about it.

 though. (We could do this in a follow-up accumulating other changes we
 want found while testing)

 Yes. Security Indicators, Security Settings, Tor Browser Settings, and
 Onboarding could be part of this testing combo.
