Kate showing its Input Modes menu entry, without a keyboard shortcut

I've noticed that the menu entries doesn't show their keyboard shortcuts if they have submenu entries.

Attached is a screenshot of a menu entry in Kate that I've been looking at.

The code for this entry is found in «kateview.cpp», lines 694-698:

    a = ac->addAction(QStringLiteral("switch_next_input_mode"));
    a->setText(i18n("Switch to Next Input Mode"));
    ac->setDefaultShortcut(a, QKeySequence(Qt::CTRL + Qt::SHIFT + Qt::Key_V));
    a->setWhatsThis(i18n("Switch to the next input mode."));
    connect(a, SIGNAL(triggered(bool)), SLOT(cycleInputMode()));

Does it have a shortcut assigned, even? Maybe it clashes with some other shortcut but I cannot reproduce with other actions such as Dolphin's submenus.

You can assign shortcuts to menu items just fine, the "switch to next input mode" is a different action from the "input modes:" menu item and as such doesn't have a shortcut.
