No, just a symbol to put into a vector.

I think this is too-level programming getting back at us, but maybe
I'm missing something.

If I hit <C-down-mouse-2>, hitting "s" or "p" doesn't do anything for

What is <sp> meant to express, anyway?  I thought perhaps it was a
keyboard shortcut, but nothing I press after C-down-mouse-2 seem to do
anything...

And neither does the v.

`C-h f facemenu-set-invisible' says that the command is bound to
<C-down-mouse-2> <sp> v, <menu-bar> <edit> <props> <sp> v.

Good luck trying to understand that, Ms User.  And yet it is so close.

This would be a lot more helpful for users if we simply used reasonable
names for the menu-item pseudo-function keys.  Instead of <sp> use
<special-properties> and things suddenly become much clearer.  Likewise,
use <text-properties> instead of <props>.  Likewise, use <invisible>
instead of just [?v].

There is no reason to take shortcuts coding this kind of thing.  Keep
in mind that the names used for menu-item keys are part of the user
interface.  Please make an effort to provide names that help users
instead of just looking for a quick abbreviation.
