Action shortcut missing in context menu

Hi @Rory_1, welcome!
Honestly, I'm not aware of an application showing shortcuts in a context menu. Most likely because of that, no such mechanism is implemented in Qt. But that is just guessing.
This question shows it is possible: https://forum.qt.io/topic/82367/adding-more-actions-to-the-context-menu-of-a-spreadsheet-app
Also, it looks like your context menu contains the same items as you main menu. But usually, a context menu contains context sensitive items, i.e. items that only apply at the position where the menu was opened.
Understood. My app is designed to hide the main menu for a more compact form and for the menu to be accessible during slideshow mode, where only the image is visible.

Why don't you download its source and have a look at how it achieves it, then?

I did, but I don't see why it is working in that example based on looking at the code. I haven't been able to get the project to run yet to confirm it actually does what the image suggests though.

I don't know, but your screenshot looks different from that example. Is it possible that this uses a native OS/UI/desktop functionality to display the context menu, and that works for the icon on some other OS but not yours? -

I tried without my style sheet and I still get the same thing so that does not appear to be the issue. -
@Rory_1
Are you Qt 5.10? Are you https://github.com/lxde/lxqt/issues/1426 ??@JonB said in Action shortcut missing in context menu:

Are you Qt 5.10? Are you https://github.com/lxde/lxqt/issues/1426 ??Yes, I am on 5.10 and that appears to be the issue - thanks for finding it!! Seems like an odd "improvement". I really appreciate the help.
BTW I did get the spreadsheet app to run and I did not see the shortcuts.

Probably also requires the fix for your 5.10.

Right.
I hate to mark this issue as solved, but if that's the way Qt is going I guess I'll just have to live with it. I'll take a look at subclassing QStyleHints.

@Rory_1
As per http://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qstylehints.html#showShortcutsInContextMenus-prop, this is a deliberately-introduced option now.I understand - doesn't mean I have to agree with it. I've been thinking about how I would go about subclassing QStyleHints. I know how to subclass a widget that I can then use, but how do I subclass something I am not calling myself. Do I have to subclass QGuiApplication? Seems like that might be risky.

Hi
Its being debated.
https://bugreports.qt.io/browse/QTBUG-61181?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels%3Acomment-tabpanel&showAll=true
So there might come a Set method. Currently its read only :( -
