It could work if Amaya doesn't use shortcut sequences (like Ctrl h Ctrl p to create a preformatted). The toolkit is not able to display these kind of long shortcuts in menus, so they are displayed as part of menu entries. We have 3 possible solutions: - keep the current status waiting for a possible solution with the toolkit, - never use shortcut sequences and then limit the number of functions the user can access, - display the first part of the shortcut (Ctrl h) into the entry and the second part (Ctrl p) aligned as a classical shortcut.
