Well, there are a bunch of patches from Benjamin Poirier adding the
possibility to jump to search results and you could use them to go to
your desired submenu.

They're not upstream yet, AFAICT, although Michal applied them.

Ok, IIUC, when you put menuconfig in the background, edit .config by
hand in the shell and then do 'fg', you need to reload the edited
.config back otherwise you lose your changes you just did by hand.

And generally speaking, why exactly do you need to edit .config by hand,
and, at same time, do it over menuconfig? IMO, with Benjamin's patches,
you don't need to do that anymore, right?

Thanks.
