I think you mean "5.1.8"

In emacs, "keystrokes" can also mean "menu"; picking a menu entry sends
a key event to the editor. So, what menu entry are you using?

In addition, there are usually keystroke equivalents to menus; once you
get used to them, the keys are faster.

C-c M-r is bound to ada-build-run, which is also bound to the menu entry
Ada | Build | Run.

Did you try this?
