As Qt Creator is a Qt/KDE app, i would expect it to have shortcut keys, as i
had mentioned previously that Linux KDE showed shortcuts in the find toolbar
field. The KDE HIG states, "Assign shortcut keys to the most frequently used
menu items (Ctrl+<Key>)".

When it comes to Gtk/Gnome apps, the majority of apps that i've tried dont have
shortcuts - file managers (files [unity], nemo [cinammon], thunar [xfce], caja
[mate], pcmanfm [lxde]), text editors (gedit, pluma, mousepad, leafpad), office
apps (abiword, gnumeric), image viewers (gThumb, EoG 3.10 [non-CSD version],
Eye of Mate), others (calculator, galculator, xpad, atril). The ones i found
with shortcuts are CSD (client-side decoration) apps like gpicview,
gnome-mplayer, EoG 3.18, evince, rhythmbox, and archive manager.

We should ideally mimic the behaviour found in the find toolbar field, as i
assume the context menu generated there is from the OS-level and not from the
app-level. But similar to other cross-platfrom apps (Word, iTunes, Chrome), we
can unilaterally decide that we want shortcuts to appear in the context menu
and that is also fine (ideally with the option to change this in the options
dialog).

Yes this bug is only talking about the keyboard shortcuts and not the
accelerators.
