electron: macOS: Accelerator doesn't call when MenuItem visible = false
- Electron version: 1.3.8
- Operating systems: macOS 10.12, Windows 10
If a MenuItem is not visible the keyboard shortcut doesn’t fire the Accelerator in macOS.
Here’s an snippet that works on Windows but not macOS:
{ label: 'Toggle Developer Tools',
visible: false,
accelerator: process.platform === 'darwin' ? 'Alt+Cmd+I' : 'Ctrl+Shift+I',
click(item, browserWindow) {
if (browserWindow) {
browserWindow.webContents.toggleDevTools()
}
},
}

This behavior is actually expected on most platforms, we may need to explicitly document it.
Yes, there’s https://github.com/parro-it/electron-localshortcut, a module to register/unregister a keyboard shortcut locally to a BrowserWindow instance, without using a Menu.
