On all menus except the main menu, you can use several navigation keys:

Note: The lowercase navigation key has the same effect as the uppercase key that is shown on the menu. For example, m or M returns you to the main menu.

On each menu, you can choose a menu item and press Enter (if applicable), or select a navigation key.
