Auto detect menu mode and turn it into hyperlinks #16

Lots of games have help menus that are intended to be operated with N, P, Return, and Q. (That’s especially where folks like to put their “how to play” content.)

These menus are painfully difficult to operate on mobile, and they’re inherently confusing for newbies.

Parchment/glkote should automatically detect these menus and turn them into hyperlinks. The menu instructions in the headers (“N = next” “Q = resume game”) should be hyperlinks, and on menu pages with N and P, each menu item should be a hyperlink; tapping on them should automate typing N N Return.

Incredibly involved, but in theory possible. Though which layer to do it in is a question.
