Hi Kidd! 

My advice is that you emulate the behavior of 1.5.

So, use: 

"_D" for "Day View"
"_W" for "Work Week View"
"_e" for "Week View"
"_M" for "Month View".

I hope this helps you! Remember that within a submenu, the only
accelerators you need to worry about conflicting with are those in the
submenu.

cheers,
Anna
