System Information
Operating system and graphics card

Blender Version
Broken: (example: 2.69.7 4b206af, see splash screen)
Worked: (optional)

Short description of error

Exact steps for others to reproduce the error
Based on a (as simple as possible) attached .blend file with minimum amount of steps
I am using Blender GIT Rev b6df448 on a Fedora 20 Linux 64Bit Box with an Intel 3000HD gfx
debug build.

I noticed that when in Edit Mode with a Mesh Object selected pressing the [o Key] while over
the 3D Viewport only enables or disabled Proportional Editing Mode. It never cycles through
all the other available options (Connected & Project 2d) in the
[3D View Editor Header > Mesh > Proportional Editing] sub-menu even though it has the shortcuts
next to their names. This is different from the Proportional Editing Falloff entries which use
[SHIFT Key + o Key] they do have all their entries cycled through when using their shortcut (and
keyboard shortcuts next to they names).

Should the short cut names against the entries that are not cycled through be removed?

There's a few menus that don't display shortcuts correctly... the pivot point for example is the same way.

You know that Alt O is 'connected', right? (It doesn't show).
'Projected' doesn't have one by default but it's possible to give it one.
In fact you can make a shortcut easily that cycles through the four options but it's not that great because the icons for projected and enabled are the same, and this is the same reason that it's not that useful to make a shortcut for projected.

Hi Druban,

Thanks for the info.

Had no idea about the alt+o key, good to know :)

That issue with menus and shortcuts is due to the fact we use a same operator for different menu items… The way we try to check which op call gets which shortcut is not perfect (we have other issues related to that 'operator polymorphism', like e.g. labels, tips, etc.). Think this is more considered a TODO than a bug currently. Will let Campbell make final decision here, though.
