[Bug 1007075] Re: Menu key shortcuts gone in GVim

[TJ]

The loss of the keyboard short-cut hints to the right (left for bidi
languages) of gvim menus occurs when it is using the Unity global menus.

When starting gvim such that it uses its own window menus the short-cut
hints are present. Starting gvim using Alt+F2 then "gvim", or from a
terminal:

UBUNTU_MENUPROXY="" gvim
(this simply clears the setting of the UBUNTU_MENUPROXY variable which is usually "libappmenu.so")

 will both launch gvim without using Unity global menus.
