Hovering over the Back action in the editor always shows the tooltip "Back (Alt+KP_LEFT)" rather than changing to what the current binding is. 

I tried changing it to something like Ctrl+Alt+Shift+LEFT and it remained the same, whereas changing Forward to something different resulted in a new tooltip text.
Comment 1 Vitezslav Stejskal 2010-03-15 15:32:18 UTC 
In general, an action can have multiple shortcuts (keybindings) assigned. In the Tools-Options -> Keymap one is marked as the primary shortcut and the rest are alternative shortcuts. AFAIK Back and Forward have each two shortcuts assigned and changing the alternative or adding another alternative won't update the action's tooltip. Is this the case?
Comment 2 kavon90 2010-03-15 16:51:44 UTC 
Back's alternative shortcut is Alt+KP_LEFT and it's primary (regular I suppose) shortcut is Alt+LEFT. Changing the alternative Back shortcut results in a tooltip change, which seems to be the real cause.

I see. Thanks for the info.

This old bug may not be relevant anymore. If you can still reproduce it in 8.2 development builds please reopen this issue.
