copied!<p>I went digging through a couple other application's code to find the answer. It turns out the default behavior with <code>\t</code> doesn't do what it <em>looks</em> like it would do (i.e. insert a tab character), but is sensibly interpreted by the toolkit as doing precisely what I wanted to do. Thus, the way to right-align a short cut is simple: create it with the text you desire, followed by <code>\t<shortcut></code> (rather as I had above). In the example code I pasted above, if I wanted my shortcut to be <code>Ctrl + T</code>, it should therefore be thus:</p> <pre><code>menu = wx.Menu() item_id = 1 item_name = 'My menu item\tCtrl+T' help_text = 'Clicking this does something interesting.' item = menu.Append(item_id, item_name, help_text) </code></pre> <p><strong>Edit:</strong> updated the following section based on Mike Driscoll's <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/a/15554665/564181">very helpful answer</a>.</p> <p>Note that this creates the shortcut binding (wxPython picks that up), but it doesn't make it selectable using e.g. the Alt key on Windows.</p> <p>You can associate the Alt key to quickly open the menu and navigate to it by using the ampersand in your <code>item_name</code> text, but you'll still need to associate the desired keybinding manually via the <code>AcceleratorTable</code>:</p> <pre><code>menu = wx.Menu() item_id = 1 # Ctrl+T is bound to the keybinding accelerator_table = wx.AcceleratorTable([(wx.ACCEL_CTRL, ord('T'), item_id)]) self.setAcceleratorTable(accelerator_table) # Ctrl+T is not included, but the menu item can be accessed via Alt key item_name = '&My menu item' help_text = 'Clicking this does something interesting.' item = menu.Append(item_id, item_name, help_text) </code></pre> <p>This, I imagine, would actually be the preferred pattern, as then anywhere that the <code>item_id</code> was referenced, the shortcut could be referenced automatically. This would also make for seamless updates.</p>
