I just updated to current svn, and accelerator keys are now visible

Of courese, they never showed up for 1.4.x or 1.3.x either, and I
can't think of any other Mac program that uses them let alone
displays them in menus.)
True for the old mac os, but in MacOs X multi key accelerators are
quite common, especially in Apple apps---look at Mail.app, for
instance,
I think you're misunderstanding. <Cmd><Opt>H for hide other
applications, e.g., is not what we have in mind. Rather, it's, e.g.,
<Opt>p2 (in LyX) for turning the current paragraph into a section
environment: cases in which the multiple keys are the non-modifier
keys.
(To be clear, accelerators with multiple modifier keys -- such as
<cmd><shift>N -- do show up in current 1.5.0 svn.)
Sorry for the misunderstanding---I was probably confused by the current
state of menus in LyX 1.4. I am happy to hear that the situation will
change in 1.5. I agree that sequences like <Opt>p 2 are very rare in
the Mac environment. But there are precedents: the Emacs port uses
them, for instance. Not to say that Emacs is a standard Mac app...
Cheers,
