I honestly didn't notice this, in nconfig thank you for pointing it out. > This is annoying. > Is this something that you have possibly already fixed? No, but I will look into it, hopefully, it's a trivial fix. I will submit a patch soon to fix this.

Menuconfig has a feature where you can "press the key in the (#) prefix to jump directly to that location. You will be returned to the current search results after exiting this new menu." This feature is poorly documented, so add it to the kconfig.rst documentation.
