--- Comment #5 from V Stuart Foote <vstuart.foote@utsa.edu> ---
(In reply to Dan Dascalescu from comment #3)
@V Stuart: do you think users care more about the difference between
"shortcut" and "accelerator" (I mentioned both terms in my report BTW), or
about their muscle memory of pressing "N"?

What localization, what OS/DE?  

Why we in this BZ context care...

Accelerators normally are translated and receive appropriate mnemonic.
Short-cuts are normally set elsewhere and are retained across localizations. 
The "Discard/Close Without Saving/Don't Save" takes an accelerator. 

And actually the dialog discard any changes, and its mnemonic has been changed
several times.

Most recently for bug 82017 -- "Close/Save confirmation dialog doesn't use
CMD-D for don't save" for reasonable accommodation of the OS X side.  The .ui
Glade GTK button object remains labeled "discard".

3.3 -> 3.6 label and accelerator was "~Discard"

4.0 -> 4.3 label and accelerator was "Close _Without Saving" (note move to .ui)

4.4 -> 5.2 label and accelerator is "_Don`t Save"

I would argue that the original "Discard" is the better *localizable* label
but there is no real reason to revert or change from commint

and certainly no reason to adopt an "N" entry.

Otherwise the only issue here is that the accelerator is not revealed--hence
the dupe to bug 99326.
