Hi, I've just released a a GUI program called Accelerator that shows where keyboard accelerators should go in menu option texts and dialog labels.
The program produces optimal results on the basis that the best accelerator is the first character, the second best is the first character of a word, the third best is any character, the worst is no accelerator at all, and no accelerator should be used more than once. With this program developers can help improve usability for users who can't use the mouse and for fast typists who don't want to use the mouse. Although the tool is written in C++/Qt4 it should be useful to anyone doing GUI programming with PyQt or any other toolkit.
