i see these labels as 'quotes', so if we have to use a punktuation mark
i'd prefer quotation marks. also, it's sometimes nice to be able to
change the order ('drücken Sie die Schaltfläche Formatieren' instead of
'drücken Sie die Formatieren Schaltfläche') and then a hyphen would not
be possible.
i may be wrong, but isn't there also some kind of graphic highlighing of
button labels in use on tails.boum.org, like emphasising or using italic?

cheers,
