What it looks like when I right click on the desktop.

SUMMARY
Half of the horizontal space in all rightclick/context/popup menus is taken up by showing the keyboard shortcuts for the thing you want to do. This is great for new users, but I think it should be able to be hidden for users who already know the shortcuts. It would make the menu's much smaller and neater.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Right click almost literally anywhere.

OBSERVED RESULT
Notice the menu's having a wide range of sizes depending on the name of the option you want to execute and it's keyboard shortcut.

EXPECTED RESULT
Ability to hide the keyboard shortcut , so as to only see the command option.

Is this for any reason other than aesthetics?
Comment 3 Dashon 2020-04-26 13:38:23 UTC
Not really. I just don't care for all the menu's being so much wider, in order to show shortcuts. For example, if there is even one item that has a keyboard shortcut. The entire menu is stretched out to match the size of that item because it is the longest entry in the given menu. If there is a way to achieve this effect on my own, I'm all ears.

Answered question.

(sorry, should have said to set it back to reported afterwards)

>Not really

Fair enough, I appreciate that you answered honestly instead of making up some clearly bogus nonsense like most the other bug reporters.

It'll require a code mod, but a super easy one. I'll submit a patch after work. No promises though.
