This keyboard shortcut does NOT appear next to the menu item, like

The reason it doesn't is because it's a metatool, not a keyboard
shortcut.
I don't know if it's hardwired,
Hardwired. So there is no excuse. Only 6 through 9 are alterable, and
only when applied to transposition.
or user alterable. If the latter,
then it shouldn't appear in the menus, unless they are dynamic (like
the articulation and expression dialogs, which display the metatool
assignments).
Yeah, those ARE great. I would like my metatool assignments to ALWAYS
show up, as if they were keyboard shortcuts (which I don't really
distinguish as all that different from metatools anyway.) The letters
that I am so desperately trying to associate in my head to tool
assignments would be easy if a letter K would show up in the corner of
the Articulation Tool icon once I assigned it there.
But my guess is that the resources used to create menus
aren't easily adaptable to dynamic data, like user-customizable
shortcuts/metatools.
I wouldn't know. But I remember on my old Atari whenever I assigned a
custom keystroke to something it would show up in the menu. Maybe
things are more complicated now...
