[Interest] hide shortcuts in menu without disabling them

[Vincent]

Finally, following

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1894395/in-qt-how-to-show-keyboard-shortcuts-in-menu-but-disable-them

I ended up hiding shortcuts in the menu without disabling them by setting
an empty QKeySequence() to the menu actions when the menu is aboutToShow()
and then setting them again when the menu is aboutToHide().
