Haiku has this feature too, it is just hidden. They are called menu
triggers. The option to show these was originally in the Menu preflet,
but that preflet was removed. I started working on a bug for this, but
had difficulty solving it easily:
https://dev.haiku-os.org/ticket/3259
Either we just hard-code that option to on, or we show them when the
menu is opened by the keyboard (Alt-Esc) as suggested in that ticket,
or we show them when menus are opened in general (meaning they would
hidden in a menu bar without any open menus.) Or we could just add
that option back to another preflet, such as Keymap or Shortcuts.
Maybe I will just do that :)
Also somewhat in relation to this long thread, I started working on
improving the BWindow shortcut handling so that B_COMMAND wasn't
always hard-coded in shortcuts, allowing for single key shortcuts
(such as the number 1 to zoom to normal size in ShowImage, or function
key shortcuts) or for shortcuts with different modifiers. I need to
finish that up, since I think it will be pretty useful.
