(In reply to brinzing from comment #6) > Created attachment 82424 [details] > test extension > > steps to reproduce: > > - install attached test.oxt > - accelerator for menu item "Test..." is not available in writer/spreadseet > doc Automatic mnemonic generation is not applied to the top level menu bar items (only to the menubar's submenus). As a workaround, you must set the ~ manually to indicate it. May be the idea not to do so is to force setting them manually, so that all the applications share the same mnemonic for the same menu bar item (for example ~File, ~Edit, ~View, ~Tools, ~Window, ~Help).
Adapting the summary.
Thank you
if you open the "TEST" menu from startcenter, the keyboard accelerator for item "Test..." (e.g. "Strg+Umschalt+E" in a german office)is present. if a submenu is added to the menu (-> see writer/spreadsheet) the keyboard accelerator disapears.
