My application can handle three different kinds of objects (Accounts,
folders and messages). Accounts and Messages are special enough to have
a menu each of their own in the main menu.
Under File I have New->{Account, Folder, Message}, as that is natural
and OSX:ish. I hav also chosen to have New Account under the Account
menu, and new Message under the Message menu, as some users find this
natural.
Obviously they both hook up to the same target, with the same actions. I
also like them to display the same key equivalent, how do I do this? By
default duplicate key equivalents are removed even if they do have the
same target/action.
This is forexample done in Thunderbord where there is both
File->New->Message and Messages->New Message, with the same key equivalent.
And secondly;
Is there any good reason why I should not have multiple menu items
performing the same task, even if they both are placed in locations
where users might expect them?
