--- Comment #11 from Caolán McNamara <caolan.mcnam...@collabora.com> ---
I can't comment on the kf5 menus, but there are two types of menus in gtk, the
various arbitrary menus like context menus and then the other types of menus
which belong to the toplevel menubar. For the toplevel menubar we provide an
fairly abstract menumodel to gtk. https://docs.gtk.org/gio/class.MenuModel.html
and https://developer-old.gnome.org/gio/stable/GMenuModel.html 

As far as I know there is no field/support in that MenuModel which supports the
concept of help for a menu entry and no straightforward way to access the
underlying widgets that implement the menu in order to hook into some F1/help
activation (the menubar and menus might not even be in the application, the
Unity thing of a macOS-like shared desktop menubar might have fallen out of
favor but the apis we use are theoretically supportive of that so the menumodel
might not even get consumed by a traditional menubar+menu.

I could see that hacking the arbitrary menus might be doable to get help in
there, but I never could see how to do it for the toplevel menubar+menus.
