Where an arrow is indicated by -> turn it into an actual arrow →
(U+2192 Rightwards Arrow). This looks much neater.
Inspired by Notion doing this automatically when you type "->".

I've made various corrections: fixing grammatical errors, removing
unnecessary or adding-in missing spaces. Made the style of references
to menu items more consistent. Generally I've tried to make the pages
read better. Terminal has had more adjustment than the others as its
Settings were recently changed and the man page now reflects this.
