I agree with jmcilhinney. For adding shortcuts: select the menu item you want to add the shortcut to. Go to the Property Box on the right and find the shortcut key property. Click the down arrow and choose the modifiers you desire (ctrl ,shift,alt) and a key (the letter N). Check out the result. If you want to underline the letter that participates in the shortcut, you just add the ampersand symbol like this: &New and the letter N appears underlined.
