Maybe the text needs some rewording (sorry, the idea came just now):
"Motor Stop" → "MOTOR_STOP"
Let me brush it up a bit:
| **Scenario** | **Motors' behavior when armed** |
|--------------------------------------------------|-----------------------------------------------------------|
| `AIRMODE` is disabled & `MOTOR_STOP` is enabled | Motors **stay off** until throttle is raised. |
| `AIRMODE` is disabled & `MOTOR_STOP` is disabled | Motors **spin at idle speed** when armed. |
| `AIRMODE` is enabled | Motors **always spin** when armed, even at zero throttle. |
But in combination with PR #4326 it probably does not make much sense, as if AIRMODE is enabled then MOTOR_STOP is hidden. Probably more relevant for older versions of BF?

In this hobby pilots eventually learn when and what happens. This scenario is akin to when motor-pwm-frequency was still shown, but only applicable if analog protocols were in use. Eventually newcomers want clarification and UI changes so it becomes as such; however, the underlying settings can still exist in CLI.
You are welcome to make a PR to clarify variable names and bold-faces if you feel it necessary.
This pull request includes a small change to the
docs/wiki/configurator/motors-tab.md
file. The change adds a new table to clarify the behavior of motors when armed under different configurations of AIRMODE and Motor Stop settings.Changes to
