Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

I used different UI-based tools in the past and like to navigate through them without depending on using the mouse. Due to mnemonics, this is usually not a problem. However, Cutter is unfortunately missing this feature. This ticket is about requesting mnemonics to the top-level menu in the UI.

Describe the solution you'd like

Adding mnemonics to the UI. Qt does support this feature and it should not be a big deal to add it.

Describe alternatives you've considered

... I don't see any alternatives... maybe supporting hotkeys for every menu-subpoint... However, that doesn't sound like a realistic alternative.

I guess the only option is leaving any mnemonics out of the UI.

Additional context

Adding mnemonics is as easy as adding &amp; to all the capital letters in <src/core/MainWindow.ui>. I would push a MR. However, unfortunately I don't have access to git atm.

I'm not sure how compatible mnemonics are with the current cutter-translation, i.e. Crowdin. I'm not familiar with it. The software that I'm aware of, will add mnemonics to the specific translations as well...
