> The norm used to be to show shortcut accelerators right next to their menu dropdowns. That would naturally advertise those most useful to the user, without getting in the way.
Yes to this. The Task Manager does have a menu entry for this (View -> Update Speed -> Paused). If they had written "Ctrl" to the right of "Paused" (as used to be the norm), it would be much more discoverable.
(Incidentally, when I hold Ctrl and open that menu, the update speed still displays what was selected before, e.g. "Low". So the Ctrl thing was probably implemented as a hack that bypasses the menu.)
