Just tried this code snippet

    put the text of menu "Actions" into tText
    put "Find.../cmd F" into line 2 of tText
    set the text of menu "Actions" to tText

The menu works by mouse but command-F highlights the menubar but does not call 
the associated script.

The menu item is misconfigured. It should be:

  put "Find.../F" into line 2 of tText

The engine will automatically use the command key unless you specify a different one. The easiest way to see what's required for menu items is to build a menu using Menu Builder and look at the text it produces.

From your other post:

Why do I get brackets added to menu names ((New (Open

When I click on the menu name for example New, more brackets are added.

The open parenthesis symbol indicates a disabled menu item. There is probably a script that disables those items and does not re-enable them. If the script adds the parenthesis specifically (rather than using the "enable" and "disable" commands,) they can pile up.

A full list of menu and menuitem modifiers are listed in the dictionary under the "menu" keyword. It's a little confusing but they're all there.
