I am able to reproduce this problem on RHEL 7.1 and Ubuntu 14.04 but not on Ubuntu 12.04, tested with 4.5 M7 (I20150430-1445). The strange part is that on both RHEL 7.1 and Ubuntu 14.04, this is the only menu item for which the shortcut keys are not appearing, all the other menu items are working perfectly fine... I'm wondering if the items on this particular sub-menu are doing something different from the other menu items while setting the accelerator keys.

Works fine with GTK2 (export SWT_GTK3=0 or use --launcher.GTK_version 2).

Might be related to bug 466381. In that bug the screenshot also has no shortcut keys.

Probably not. Bug 466381 is most likely specific to Ubuntu 14.04 (and later) and happens only when the Unity desktop's integrated appmenu is used, disabling the appmenu by export UBUNTU_MENUPROXY=0 fixes that problem, whereas the problem with menu shortcuts is reproducible on RHEL 7.1 as well.

GTK3 doesn't accept shortcut keys with two characters (Shift+Alt+Q X).
The shortcut keys are also missing for the Run As/Debug As menu.
I have tried to set those keys to a label (label="Console Shift+Alt+Q C"), but it doesn't help. GTK3 removes 'Shift+Alt+Q C'.
Maybe we could show them as "Console Shift_Alt_Q C" or something similar that.

This is still reproducible on 4.8 M6, GTK3.22, and Fedora 27.

I am going to close this since it appears to be a platform limitation.
