In some cases, I bind a menu-bar menu item to a command that is not, itself,
bound to a keyboard key sequence. However, I would like a particular key
sequence to appear in the menu next to the menu item.
I don't think there is currently a way to specify (i.e. hard-code) a
key-binding hint for a menu item. You can add text " (C-x a)" to the
menu item itself, but there is then no way to right-align the binding hint.
Could this mini-feature be added after the release? The use case is having a
slightly different command bound to the menu item than what is to be
documented as the keyboard binding.

What's wrong with :keys ?

Oops - please ignore. I was unaware of :keys.

Nothing. Didn't think there was such a thing. Discovered it after I posted.
Sorry.

Worse than that, in fact. I had already used it in my code, but forgot about
it.
