I don't know. How do the developers ensure that the shortcut is unique? Trial and error, I'd say. This is exactly what the translators need to do as well. > Or is that your job? :) No, of course not. Unless people file bugzilla reports about that, including the suggested alternatives. I've implemented suggestions from there in the past, and I'd do so in the future as well. But in principle this is IMHO a design flaw in the whole accelerator key design -- or it rather needs fundamentally different tools to check them. On some KDE news page there was talk about automated UI testing, and checking the accelerator keys was one of the easy things an automated UI tester could check easily...
