Description of the new feature/enhancement

In the vast majority of apps, when you open a menu, items that have hotkeys bound to them show those key combinations, usually in lighter-colored text, next to the items, which obviously helps both alert the user to their presence and familiarize them with the shortcuts, or, in the case of rarely used ones, allows them to use them on occasion without having to remember them or open settings to find out what they are. This should be done in Terminal as well. In fact, this is already present in the down arrow menu to the right of the new tab button, but not in the tab context menu.

Proposed technical implementation details (optional)

Add text next to entries in the tab right-click menu showing those entries' keyboard shortcuts.
