The custom shortcut for Finder's File > Compress menu item continues to work, because Finder goes slightly out if its way to achieve it. The item's -title remains unchanged as ”Compress”, even when you see "Compress “foo”" or "Compress 42 Items” -- in that case, you're seeing the -attributedTitle. (Ditto for "Burn to Disc…” item.)

Thanks, I’ll switch to using this category method for setting dynamic titles:

```Objective-C
- (void)setDynamicTitle:(NSString*)plainTitle
{
if(self.userKeyEquivalent && ![self.userKeyEquivalent isEqualToString:@""])
        {
                NSString* title = plainTitle;
                plainTitle = self.title;

                NSFont* font = self.menu.font ?: [NSFont menuFontOfSize:0];
self.attributedTitle = [[NSAttributedString alloc] initWithString:title attributes:@{ NSFontAttributeName : font }];
        }
        self.title = plainTitle;
}
```

Small downside: If you look carefully while the menu item is disabled, it looks a bit different from other disabled menu items.

Yeah, definitely not a fan of attributed strings in menu items for this reason, but seeing as this is how Finder (hence Apple) achieves it, I guess there are no better solution, and with the above code, only users with custom app shortcuts should be affected.
