You may specify accelerator on menu element creation.
Actually, it is good to use Gtk::Action to create menu or tool items.
So, you may add accelerator as

Gtk::ActionGroup::object_ref->add( action_object, Gtk::AccelKey( ... ), sigc::slot_object );

Either later use Gtk::Widget::add_accelerator() method.
