Sublime's menu doesn't display its shortcuts (key bindings)

Question

Under Ubuntu, using SublimeText 2: when clicking the "Edit" top menu, in the dropdown list, the shortcuts that are usually displayed on the right side of each feature won't show up . I couldn't take a proper screenshot, sorry, Ubuntu doesn't want me to, but here is an example found on the web:

So far :

• I searched in the config,
• I tried to switch my color-scheme back to default, then to some other schemes,
• I switched to SublimeText 3

None of these brought the shortcuts back.
The only workaround I figured so far is to use ALT+: it displays the dropdown list using the system's window manager (I guess), and there, the shortcuts are properly displayed.

How can I get my shortcuts back in the menu's dropdowns ?

Answer 1

I found the same problem with Eclipse and a solution here on SO. When I started using Sublime I tried the fix and it worked.

You need to create a Unity Launcher as usual and make sure you put Exec=env UBUNTU_MENUPROXY= sublime on the Exec line.

I'm using something like this for Ubuntu 13.10. Again, the key change is the Exec line:

[Desktop Entry]
Version=2.0.1
Name=Sublime Text 2
# Only KDE 4 seems to use GenericName, so we reuse the KDE strings.
# From Ubuntu's language-pack-kde-XX-base packages, version 9.04-20090413.
GenericName=Text Editor

Exec=env UBUNTU_MENUPROXY= sublime
Terminal=false
Icon=/opt/Sublime Text 2/Icon/48x48/sublime_text.png
Type=Application
Categories=TextEditor;IDE;Development
X-Ayatana-Desktop-Shortcuts=NewWindow

[NewWindow Shortcut Group]
Name=New Window
Exec=sublime -n
TargetEnvironment=Unity
