Description Michael Gratton 2014-04-24 00:39:43 UTC 
The application menu lacks visible indication of both menu item access keys and keyboard shortcuts, making it impossible to discover what they are (or even if they exist).

For example, in Epiphany, Ctrl-Q quits and Ctrl-E displays the prefs, but there is no way to find that out. Also, while I can access the app menu using Super-F10, because there are no access keys on the menu items, to get to the Quit menu item I need to press Down nine times.

Fixing these issues would considerably increase the accessibility and usability of the app menu.
