Keyboard Shortcuts Not Showing In Tooltips #72982

I'm working with Blender v2.81a with a default keymap. If the spacebar action (Blender Preferences > Keymap > Spacebar Action) is configured to "Search", when hovering over buttons, the keyboard shortcut is not shown. If it is configured as "Play" or "Tools" the keyboard shortcut is shown in the tooltip as expected.

Hovering over a button with the spacebar action set to play or tools:

Shouldn't the shortcut be shown while hovering momentarily over a button, regardless of spacebar action?

Let me know if any additional information is needed. Thanks!

This is not a bug. If there is no key shortcut for opening the tools menu, there is no key shortcut for activating the tool and so nothing to display.

It could display shortcuts for the operator associated with the tool, but that's not exactly the same and outside the scope of the bug tracker in any case.
