Linux DR doesn't display the key shortcuts in the menus.

I think this might be a GTK theming issue. Clicking around through various core GNOME apps (I tried Files, Disks, Videos, Terminal and gEdit) I see no menus with shortcuts listed. All the apps have moved to the new "header bar" style where you don't actually have the regular File/Edit menu bar, just various buttons and a "Menu" button which brings down a speech bubble-style menu which does not contain any shortcuts.

If this is implemented at the GTK 3 level rather than with GNOME-specific code, then I guess it applies to wxWidgets too which uses GTK 3 as a backend. In which case, I'm not sure there is anything we can do in the DR code to fix it, but you might be able to solve it by changing to a different GUI theme.

changing the theme with gnome-tweaks from yaru-dark to adwaita (the dafault for ubuntu) didn't bear any change related to shortcuts being present, it might not be related to the theme of GTK?

Maybe not, it was just a guess after all. Nevertheless, I don't know how to change this. I cannot find anything in the wxWidgets documentation relating to the visibility of shortcuts in menus, nor can I find any discussion of this issue.

Audacity uses wxWidgets and it has keyboard shortcuts in their menu's.

Quote

Audacity's fork of wxWidgets 3.1.3 (https://github.com/audacity/wxWidgets) should
be used as this includes bug fixes that are not yet available upstream.
WxWidgets should be built with gtk2 as gtk3 is not yet fully supported.

Workaround:

The keyboard shortcuts can be added manually to the menu.xml file from the install folder. Add some extra spaces to move the shortcut  to the right. With every change of a shortcut, the change has to be changed in this file as well.

Example code:

	<subMenu name="edit" caption="&amp;Edit">
		<menuItem name="undo" caption="&amp;Undo                                                 ctrl-z" command="Undo"  />
		<menuItem name="redo" caption="&amp;Redo                                                 ctrl-y" command="Redo" />
		<menuSeparator />
		<menuItem name="copy" caption="&amp;Copy                                                 ctrl-c" command="Copy" />
		<menuItem name="paste" caption="&amp;Paste                                               ctrl-v" command="Paste" />

 

This file gets overwritten with every new install, so make a backup that you can use to overwrite in the new install.

      You cannot receive PMs. Could you please be so kind and check your mailbox if it is full (or maybe you switched off the function)?

      I like the new frob highlight but it would nice if it was less "flickery" while moving over objects (especially barred metal doors).

      Well then, it's been about a week since I released my first FM and I must say that I was very pleasantly surprised by its reception. I had expected half as much interest in my short little FM as I received and even less when it came to positive feedback, but I am glad that the aspects of my mission that I put the most heart into were often the most appreciated. It was also delightful to read plenty of honest criticism and helpful feedback, as I've already been given plenty of useful pointers on improving my brushwork, level design, and gameplay difficulty.
      I've gotten back into the groove of chipping away at my reading and game list, as well as the endless FM catalogue here, but I may very well try my hand at the 15th anniversary contest should it materialize. That is assuming my eyes are ready for a few more months of Dark Radiant's bright interface while burning the midnight oil, of course!
