Menu Separator and Keyboard shortcut in MAUI

Question

Hi,

How can I add a menu separator and keyboard shortcut in the below menu?

<MenuBarItem Text="File">  
    <MenuFlyoutItem Text="New"  />  
    <MenuFlyoutItem Text="Open" />  
    <MenuFlyoutItem Text="Save" />  
    <MenuFlyoutItem Text="Save As" />  
    <MenuFlyoutItem Text="Close" />  
    <MenuFlyoutItem Text="Exit" Clicked="FileExitMenuFlyoutItem_Clicked" />  
    <MenuFlyoutItem Text="Recent" />  
</MenuBarItem>  

Thanks,
Jassim

Hello,

There is no such an API to implement Separator and Keyboard shortcut in MAUI right now.

You could refer to this issue Menu missing accelerators to get the method about how to map Accelerator Key to menu items.

For using Separator, please refer to Include an option to add a menu item separator. Sometimes menu items need to be logically grouped. #5999.

In this issue, you could find Menu Separators have been added for the Net7 milestone(so not yet available). It only affects Platforms which have a concept of a menu separator (Windows: yes, iOS & Android: no, MacCatalyst: yes).

Alec Liu.
