One of the things that kept me from switching from top to htop were
the menus at the bottom since I have set function hotkeys in the
Ubuntu interface.  I can't believe I never thought of just trying to
click them with the mouse...silly me!

Another annoyance I had was that for servers with many CPUs, the top
half or more of the screen would be covered with CPU usage.  I just
found out how to get rid of all that (after spending a couple of
minutes with the menu :-) ).

Thanks for letting us know!
