Description

Describe the bug

i was looking for a way to bind a key to turn off the flashlight in my smartphone in the "item action menu". i went into the keybinding menu and search for "turn" and was presented with a list of several turn on/off action with no additional information. i bound all "turn off" to different keybinds which didn't help, the smartphone->turn off flashlight was still not bound. also binding several other actions like "well, you know" or any of the >10 "activate:" actions didn't help.

Steps to reproduce

i am not aware what populates the % keybind list

  1. press % (or whatever key you bound to "item action menu")
  2. press ? (... "keybind menu")
  3. search for turn or activate or just scroll around

Expected behavior

i think getting some more meaningful lfh for the keybinds would be a good idea.
