Add menu tips article
closes https://github.com/ppy/osu-wiki/issues/7971
not entirely sure if "menu tips" is encompassing enough but it sounds fairly ok to me, and they're mostly about menus (client navigation and shortcuts) anyway

somehow an article full of large lists alone doesn't look right to me. I mean, I don't have anything against it (it's informative, scratches an itch, etc, etc), but it could be a few lines on the Client
article pointing to locations of the tips as well...
while I don't have any suggestions for its core design, because well, lists, how about you add some minimal formatting (for example, Hot
+Key
+Combinations
) and links to other articles where appropriate to add more value to it?
Yeah, I'm not sure of the value provided. For stable it's probably fine because I don't foresee the tips changing, but for lazer, it might be just as beneficial to link to the code file with the tips present (so they don't have to be updated in multiple places)?
if it's about value, then the suggestions ticclick provided would be the answer. perhaps we could even add illustrative gifs for better presentability.
the reason this is put in an article in the first place is to have an accessible, searchable source of information. sure, this could be a stub article that links to the lazer source and tells people to check the stable localisation files, but then we wouldn't have much of an article.
also, it's not like the same thing would make sense for other articles with duplicate and manually updated information; much of the information on the wiki is a secondary source anyway, requiring updates as time passes (pp, medals, community articles, all other lists, etc, not to mention new info regarding lazer). the wiki is not static, at least for as long as the game and the community evolve.
