Ok it is possible to add accelerators using Linguist, but it would then
be required to have them visible, not only after pressing Alt.
Often one uses the first letter as accelerator, but it is not always
possible; example for the menus: there is *F*ile and *F*ormat, so one
has to use another letter (in the MS softwares, format has often the "t"
as accelerator). So one has to "see" the underlined accelerator letters
to know which one to use.
For the menu, you can start to press Alt, they appear and you add the
selected letter.
But inside the menus, you are not using Alt+accelerator, just the
accelerator (at least under Windows), so once again one has to see the
underlined letters.
From the behaviour of the Search and Replace dialog boxes, it looks
like that pressing Alt sets a switch to show the accelerator letters.
Would it be possible to set it ON for the whole program, permanently?
