I didn't think the HIG recommended stock icons in context menus (keep it
simple) but if you think it is a good idea then go ahead.

Sounds weird ...
"Provide an access key for each item. However, to enhance their spatial
efficiency and readability, do not show keyboard shortcuts in popup
menus."

... but I suppose it makes sense.

If I read that right "access key" is a synonym for mnemonics and it is
only shortcuts like Ctrl+Shift+A that shouldn't be shown. Sounds good

sounds good.
