Sorry for being dense ;-), where did you define the shortcut? If a 
shortcut is defined in a menu, it will executed only if the menu has the 
focus. I don't think that this works in toolbars. If I just ad a tilde 
to a toolbar item label, I don't see a way to execute this label as a 
command like in a menu.

Are you sure that you don't talk about accelerators (those who are 
assigned to commands using tools-customize-keyboard)?
