That's a fine idea, but I don't see it as an
argument for not showing the accelerator in the
popup menu. If the user does know how to pop up
the menu, I don't see what's gained by making
him go looking somewhere else to find out, first
of all, whether there is an accelerator for it at
all, and if so, what it is.
It sounds like the argument is that it would
make the popup menu look too cluttered. But
that's very heavily a matter of opinion. I
don't think it outweighs the unintuitiveness
of not showing an accelerator when one exists.
