Indeed, I did not mention this in the initial post because of TLDR; fears (though I would in the bug report, but the jury is still out on if this is even a bug) - thank you for bringing it up.

I think if the shortcut is a in-menu-only shortcut it should still be a conflict perhaps, but the extended quirk on this is that sometimes I use items with & in the name, (Like - actCompany.Caption:='Lyle & Sons.') but I don't want it to show as a shortcut (or for it to BE a shortcut).

No problem, just escape it the usual way: actCompany.Caption:='Lyle && Sons.'

But now, that adds a shortcut conflict to the list also, because the shortcut analyzer does not interpret the escaping - I assume.

For anyone else wishing to test - Just create a new Form app and copy the code between ======= lines below, and paste onto your form. Then go to menu editor, on any item Right-click --> Shortcuts --> Resolve shortcut conflicts.

There are only 2 shortcuts used and they differ, so there are Zero conflicts here, but the Analyzer shows no less than 6 conflicts.

[ Note1: This code has no actual shortcuts assigned to any Menu-Item. Only the TActions have shortcuts, and they differ. ] [ Note2: Shortcuts 16458 & 16459 are not special, they're simply "Ctrl+J" & "Ctrl+K", chosen arbitrarily.]

==================================

object ActionList1: TActionList
  left = 85
  top = 112
  object Action1: TAction
    Caption = 'Action1'
    ShortCut = 16458
  end
  object Action2: TAction
    Caption = 'Jack && Jill'
    ShortCut = 16459
  end
end
object pu1: TPopupMenu
  left = 32
  top = 64
  object MenuItem1: TMenuItem
    Action = Action1
  end
  object MenuItem2: TMenuItem
    Action = Action2
  end
end
object pu2: TPopupMenu
  left = 152
  top = 64
  object MenuItem3: TMenuItem
    Action = Action1
  end
  object MenuItem4: TMenuItem
    Action = Action2
  end
end

=========================
