Description
Hi, and thanks for all your work on Nemo!

When right-clicking a symbolic link (in a Nemo window or on the desktop), the "Follow link to original file" item has no underlined mnemonic letter. Pressing F while the context menu is open doesn't activate it, so it can't be reached from the keyboard without arrowing down to it.

Most of the other context menu items can be activated with a single key, so this one stands out as an exception. It would be a small quality-of-life improvement for keyboard users, and possibly for accessibility.

Steps to reproduce

  1. Create a symbolic link to a file or folder (e.g. ln -s ~/Documents/example.txt ~/link-to-example).
  2. Right-click the link in Nemo.
  3. Look for an underlined letter in "Follow link to original file", or press F.

Expected behaviour
The label would include a mnemonic (an underscore before a suitable letter in the translatable string), so the item can be chosen with a single keypress while the menu is open. If F is already used by another item in the same menu, a different unused letter would be fine.

Additional information

Thank you!
