565993 - List shortcuts in Menus (especially context menus)

Status: NEW

(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

[John Wayne Hill (UX Intern)]

(Note: this is filed as part of the “Paper Cut” bugs — we assume that there may be multiple existing bugs on this. Please make them block this bug, and we will de-dupe if they are indeed exactly the same. Thanks!)

To reproduce:
1. in Mac, go the the menu "Tools"
2. notice the shortcut for "Web Search" (Apple K)

Recommendation:
Implement more shortcuts in menus where the menu has a shortcut. This should especially happen in context menus.

How about just adding existed shortcuts for the items listed on context menu? Currently, there is no any shortcuts listed on it(You can see that in the attachment).

Move to QX Holding area to consider the priority.

Bug 492557 offers a different take on the same problem: in-app discoverability of the keyboard shortcuts.
I'd love to see the work already done there completed first, if possible. John, what do you think about that?
