Re: Any objections to hotkeys being displayed in tooltips?

But it should be solved by ActionManager pattern, where all action are stored in one place independently where they are used and any connection between menu item, toolbar item, command and keyboard shortcut (hot key is application independent to lanuch some general feature of your system or extension) are passed by it or its elements (how to spell it: storagee?). Then if you know some action has a keyboard shortcut and tooltip text, it could be easily asked for to display on demand.



But I do not find such action manager fully implemented with all required features, some partially implementations are in GTK+ and Qt, but from what I've investigated for my other projects, they miss some important functions.

The concept is a good one. Implementing would best be done on wxWidgets, not on GTK+ or Qt for us. Looking at the surface of a deep murky pond, I think reaching the bottom might be possible.
