I am facing the same challenge as the original poster: I want to
indicate the space bar as the action key in a menu item. I don't care
about modifiers (my app will catch the plain space key and dispatch the
action), but I want to indicate to the user that the space bar is the key
to press, and facilitate the same action via a menu item.
So, I want the literal text "space" to appear in the right-hand side of
the menu item. Can I achieve this somehow?
(similarly, if I wanted to indicate something like "F1" for the F1 key,
how would I cause it to appear in the menuitem?)
