Well, in the startmenu of windows xp the manually created entries do not have a visual hint neither (no underlined character). But they are executed immediately - when only one single entry begins with that character.

May be you are interested in a way of using the kmenu, which is my favorit?
I do not assign shortcuts to kmenu entries in the kontrolcenter of three reasons:
1 It needs more time to assign them than my method (see below)
2 it "steals" shortscuts for other usage. Shortcuts are are rare goods.
3 it shows no shortcuts on the right of the entry (like it is usual in menu commands)
Under windows xp I used a startmenu like that:

Source code
|
1
2
3
|
U Ultraedit
F Firefox
O Opera
|
I use each character as the first one once.
The three advantages of assigning shortcuts this way:
1 very fast to assign, it is typing two more characters while giving an entrie a name
2 it steals no shortcuts
3 it shows the shortcut next to the entry - in my humble opinion this way is even faster to read than the classical way

In other words: this behaviour is for me not something of the category "nice to have". It is important for me.
I hope there is a "hack" to realize it.
