Is is possible to show the keyboard shortcut for a menu item in the HUD?

  • 772

When using the HUD I think it would be very useful if it displayed the keyboard shortcut for a menu item (if it has one). For example New Tab in Firefox has the shortcut Ctrl+T

enter image description here

Can the HUD be configured to show whether a menu item has a keyboard shortcut, something like the mock-up below:

enter image description here

shortcut-keys hud

    It turns out that this function is not yet available in the HUD at the time of asking this question. The functionality has been proposed as a bug on Launchpad here: https://bugs.launchpad.net/unity/+bug/921546

    The bug has been confirmed and a fix committed so this functionality should appear within the HUD in a future update.
