+  Commands that operate on project files (@pxref{Project File

+no project is current.  When you are inside a project but you want to
+operate on a different project, the command
+@code{project-switch-project} can be used.

+  This command prompts you to choose a directory among known project

+controls which commands are available in the menu, and by which keys
+they are invoked.
