[ Fixed ] Draft GUI: Shortcuts do not display in sub-menus?

[Roy_043]

I notice that keyboard shortcuts do not display in the Draft sub-menus.
Example: Drafting > Arc tools > Arc
Shortcut: A, R
The shortcut exists and works.

Hmm, this is more complex. If you start with the Draft WB the "A, R" shortcut actually does not work. You have to load the BIM WB first.

The issue seems to be related to toolbuttons on flyouts.

The menu nesting does not seem to cause it. F.e.: if you start with the Arch WB the "C, I" shortcut works fine even though the tool sits in a nested menu.

What happen if you don't have BIM WB installed?

The issue is not cause by the BIM WB, if that is what you mean. After removing it the problem remains.

All shortcuts work as intended from Arch, Draft or Bim installed or not on my machine. Windows 8.1 reach Mainstream End of Life Jan 8th 2018. Could contribute to problems in these newer FreeCAD releases.

Have you tested the case where Draft is the only WB you have loaded after Start? If I load BIM the "A, R" works for me as well, but that is because the Draft_Arc tool is directly accessible in a toolbar from that WB. At least I currently think that tools on flyouts suffer from this bug.

That seems unlikely to me.

The image shows the Drafting menu from the Draft WB.

Yes you are correct. Using Create New on my machine loads BIM WB by default. Loading Draft WB only on startup the following shortcuts do not work:

Fillet
Arc Tools
Bezier Tools
Point

That to me shows the nesting is not the problem as Fillet and Point are not nested. The Labels don't show up either but maybe they never did. Good catch.

You also have to check the code. Not all commands have a shortcut. Look for "Accel". That word is missing in gui_points.py and gui_fillets.py.

Thanks for confirming.

This sounds a bit like a bug I noticed where the draft preferences are not shown when you load Arch before BIM. That's the reverse, but maybe there is a similar problem in the code that causes this where the Arch/BIM and Draft workbenches have some code duplication (but with differences in shortcuts, maybe) for loading these commands and loading one prevents the other from also loading? See https://forum.freecadweb.org/viewtopic.php?f=23&t=57663 for the other issue.

Looking through my 'archive' I see that I have started a similar topic ca. 1 year ago:
