The NIBs are *not* using the nifty alternate item feature because you can't do that with only shift, it seems (can't even check it off in IB). I tried mangling in validateMenuItem but that's not called unless the menu is being displayed, it seems. So where can I flip the keyEquivalent as this happens, if that's what's happening (the simplest solution).


You can check for the alternate in -[NSApplication sendEvent:] and call super with a synthetic event whose characters are changed to match the equivalent on the menu item. That has the benefit of invoking all the standard mechanisms for matching key equivalents and highlighting the menu item.
