Does anyone know how? I tried to assign the key in code: MyMenu.KeyboardShortCut = Chr(29) but that didnt work either. This would be for OSX. thanks!

What's more, doing it via declares is also impossible due to the underlying menu system implementation in the framework. The only solution is to trap the proper keys in the KeyDown event and do your shortcut that way. Still unhelpful for actually *showing* the shortcut however.

I want Command with an Arrow Key to navigate through history.
