Bug 405541

In trying to port a QQC1 menu in ELisa to QQC2, I ran into an issue of being unable to replicate the full functionality available in QQC1, with the menu items having keyboard shortcuts that appear on the right-side of their menu items.


Here's the original code (from https://cgit.kde.org/elisa.git/tree/src/qml/ApplicationMenu.qml:)

import QtQuick 2.7
import QtQuick.Controls 1.4

Menu {
    MenuItem {
        text: configureAction.text
        shortcut: configureAction.shortcut
        iconName: elisa.iconName(configureAction.icon)
        onTriggered: configureAction.trigger()
    }
}


And here's a QQC2 version:


import QtQuick 2.7
import QtQuick.Controls 2.5

Menu {
    MenuItem {
        text: configureAction.text
        icon.name: elisa.iconName(configureAction.icon)
        onTriggered: configureAction.trigger()
        visible: configureAction.text !== ""

        Shortcut {
            sequence: configureAction.shortcut
            context: Qt.ApplicationShortcut
            onActivated: configureAction.trigger()
        }
    }
}

With this, the shortcut works, but the does not visible appear in the menu itself.



Or consider the following alternative using Actions in the Menu


import QtQuick 2.7
import QtQuick.Controls 2.5
Menu {
    Action {
        text: configureAction.text
        shortcut: configureAction.shortcut
        icon.name: elisa.iconName(configureAction.icon)
        onTriggered: configureAction.trigger()
    }
}

With this, the shortcut neither works, nor visibly appears in the menu.


I feel like one or both of these should work.
