Hi Lorenzo,

I noticed that in the screenshot on sourceforge you have a few duplicate
keyboard accelerators ("&Find:" and "&Find", "&Close" and "&Case
sensitive", and "R&eplace with" and "R&egular Expression").

I have a Qt program that lets you type in a list of texts (e.g., the
labels and button texts used in a dialog, or the options in a menu,
etc.), and produces a new list with keyboard accelerators and without
duplicates. See:
http://www.qtrac.eu/alt_key.html

In fact, the library that the program uses is fast enough to set
keyboard accelerators dynamically, so you can embed it in your (GPL)
code. Unfortunately I haven't yet documented the library, but it is easy
to use nonetheless---just use one of the accelrate*() functions. (This
library is used by almost all the examples in _Advanced Qt Programming_
and has already saved me lots of time.).
