I think K should be the short-cut, if it's not used by something else.
My opinion is it's better if menu shortcuts relate to the translated
words that is what the user actually sees. This makes translating menu
items in launchpad more complicated, because you have to keep track of
the letters you have already used.

However, I wouldn't apply that to general short-cuts like ctrl+f for
find, which I'd leave untranslated. Shortcuts of that kind are so
standard that it only harms to translate them, but menu items change
from one application to another.

Just an opinion. Regards.
