My apologies if this has already been requested - my cursory search didn't yield a result.

It would be nice to be able to optionally show the chosen keyboard shortcuts on buttons/widgets in Virtual Console, to make it easier to remember, and/or to allow someone else who is unfamiliar with my console, to use them at a glance.

As an aside, I do like the ability to assign the same key to multiple functions, but it also would be nice to know if there's a conflict, just in case I don't want to accidentally use the same key in certain scenarios.

Thanks - QLC+ is awesome!

What about adding an (R) to the title of your button, indicating 'R' as a shortcut?

[sarcastic mode=on] Yeah - we all would like that... The wonderful world of magic :mrgreen: [mode=off]

I never looked at the show-file for the shortcuts... so maybe there is a way to detect multiple uses of keys.
Take a backup of your project file, open it with a text editor, and try to find the shortcut definition field.

Yeah I've added the key in parenthesis, just have to remember to change it if I change the shortcut. :)
