[Feature]: Allow ShortcutKeyDescription to be Set on CoreWebView2ContextMenuItem

[NeonBits]

Describe the feature/enhancement you need

I'm currently working on a WPF application where I need to override the context menu.
This has been fairly straightforward so far, but I cannot work out how to specify a keyboard shortcut to be displayed on the menu item.

I would like the shortcuts to appear the same as the default menu:

The CoreWebView2ContextMenuItem.ShortcutKeyDescription property is read only.
The CoreWebView2ContextMenuItem.Label property documentation suggests that it "Will contain an ampersand for characters to be used as keyboard accelerator."

I've tried eg. "MyCommandLabel&Ctrl+H" but the shortcut is just incorporated into the label.

Am I missing something? Is it done this way due to localization?
It would be much easier to be able to override the property value with Set.

The scenario/use case where you would use this feature

It's important for accessibility considerations and for "power users" to be able to specify the keyboard capabilities of the given commands,

How important is this request to you?

Impactful. My app's user experience would be significantly compromised without it.

I asked for this myself. They won't do it sadly. Their justification is that you can use a native menu instead of the WV2 menu.

Whilst a native menu will render shortcuts correctly, the thing is that I want to use a WV2 menu. And, I can't for the life of me understand why the API does not let us set the hotkey description on the right.

@ajtruckle Thanks for your response, that's disappointing to hear.
Maybe they'll reconsider as more people run into the problem.

I guess I'll spend today deleting my code and creating a native menu instead...

@NeonBits I agree, if more users express a desire for this to be available for the WV2 API ... 😊👍 Happy coding! 🖖
