[Solved] Suggested Thunar enhancement

When you right click in Thunar you are shown a menu with actions. You can select an action with the mouse and in some cases by typing a single letter. You can also define your own actions using "Configure custom actions". I was wondering if it would be possible/desirable to assign a single letter to a custom action in the  "Configure custom actions" dialogue?

I realize it is no hardship to select an action with the mouse. I just think beinging able to select a custom action by typing a single letter would be a nice enhancement.

That feature is already available.
In the custom action editing dialog, in the Name line, put a _ before the letter you want to be the shortcut. In example, "_Open Terminal", uses the "o" as a shortcut when using the right click menu. It's not necessary to be the first letter, it could be too "Op_en Termnial", in which case, the letter changes to "e".
