Calibre's GUI toolkit will automatically add your chosen shortcut to the menu. The shortcuts displayed in the attached image are only representative of what your chosen shortcuts will look like.

Thanks for the update, but what do the JS+ shortcuts do that the equivalent Miscellaneous shortcuts don't do? See attachment
The Miscellaneous ones work irrespective of the setting (checked/unchecked) of
Preferences->Look and Feel->Show layout buttons in the status bar (needs restart).
One difference is that the JS+ shortcuts do not appear as tool tips for the individual buttons when the L&F setting is checked, whereas the shortcuts in Miscellaneous are shown as tooltips.
This is what I had in mind when I first suggested the Layout button in the beta testing thread:
But as you know the keyboard navigable list of textual show/hide toggles has been superseded by a row of click only buttons.
And I've discovered that if I set the Miscellaneous Custom shortcuts to
None the default shortcuts are reinstated. In the above image the Shift+Alt+B . . . Shift+Alt+T have been 'whited' out. I haven't checked thoroughly, but I think I've been able to overwrite default shortcuts with
None elsewhere.
I was hoping I could dispense with the shortcuts for the individual toggles. For infrequently used functions (such as these show/hide toggles), I prefer to use the menu-key and arrows rather than multi-key sequences.
FWIW: I wouldn't have calibre install any preset
multi-key keyboard shortcuts. Most people don't use them, except inadvertently, and those that want them will soon find out where to configure them. But it's too late now of course.
