Underline(shortcut) is not getting displayed on changing the text on a button

[MaruthiMarsh]

A button is set text with "&Open" where shortcut is "Alt+O" but when I change the text to "Close"/"Cl&ose", the shortcut is getting removed.
How to retain the shortcut?

import QtQuick 2.15
import QtQuick.Controls 2.15
import QtQuick.Layouts 1.15

Pane {

    function on_update_open_button_text() {
        button.text = "Cl&ose"
    }

    Shortcut {
        id: sc
        sequence: "Alt+O"
        onActivated: {
            on_update_open_button_text()
        }
    }

    ColumnLayout {

        Button {
            id: button
            Layout.preferredWidth: 150
            objectName: "openButtonObj"
            text: "&Open"

            onClicked: {
                on_update_open_button_text()
            }
        }
    }
}

@MaruthiMarsh said in Shortcut gets removed on changing the text on a button:

the shortcut is getting removed

What does this mean exactly? What indicates that it is removed?

[MaruthiMarsh]

@fcarney I think I need to reframe the title. Basically what is happening is the underline under the character 'O' is not getting displayed when we change the button text to "Cl&ose" though it displays initially (when the text is "&Open").

@MaruthiMarsh would button.text = "Cl<u>o</u>se" work for your case ?

[MaruthiMarsh]

@J-Hilk Yes, it does work. Thanks.
But why it doesn't work when '&' is used?

[J.Hilk]

@MaruthiMarsh I have no idea what &Ois supposed to do and when I test it, id does nothing but print the & char. <u></u> are rich text tags and the QMLl Text elements supports that, so I suggested to that :D
