Description

F9 -> Left (or File, Command, Right)

The dropdown menu's content isn't centered, it has a space on the left but not on the right, e.g.
| Quick view C-x q|
Notice there's a space before "Quick view", but not after "C-x q".

F9 -> Options

One space on the left, two spaces on the right.

Notes:

max_hotkey_len was incorrectly named, it's the length of the text label, not the hotkey. I just renamed the variable and fixed the comment, didn't change the behavior here.

max_entry_len contained the length without the two spaces between the text labels and the shortcut. Now it includes these two spaces too, unless no shortcuts are used.

The mouse x coordinates were a bit off, usually the left border was also valid but the right border wasn't, unless the menu was pushed to the left because of a narrow terminal, in which case the right border belonged to the entry and the left didn't. I've fixed it so that neither of them belongs to the menu entry anymore.

Replying to egmont:

F9 -> Left (or File, Command, Right)

The dropdown menu's content isn't centered, it has a space on the left but not on the right, e.g.
| Quick view C-x q|

The left one-symbol space is matched with menu_entry_t::first_letter. Currently it's unused (seems it wasn't used ever). Probably it can be useful in the future to mark active menu item. For example:

▕ ✓File listing          ▕
▕  Quick view       C-x q▕
▕  Info             C-x i▕
▕  Tree                  ▕
▕  File listing          ▕
▕  Quick view       C-x q▕
▕ ✓Info             C-x i▕
▕  Tree                  ▕

But currently menu doesn't support checked items and I think we just can remove the menu_entry_t::first_letter field.

Good point. Looks the menus of graphical menus is often uncentered too for the same reason.
Feel free to close as invalid/wontfix if you wish.
