Description
Description
Keyboard shortcuts are only discoverable via the shortcuts dialog. Toolbar buttons don't show their associated shortcut anywhere.
Expected Behavior
Show shortcut hints on toolbar buttons, e.g.:
- Split button shows "(S)"
- Play button shows "(Space)"
- Delete button shows "(Delete)"
Could be implemented as:
- Suffix in tooltip: "Split at playhead (S)"
- Small
<kbd>badge on button hover - In context menu items

Research direction
Start with apps/web/src/components/editor/panels/timeline/timeline-toolbar.tsx and compare its toolbar actions with the shortcut definitions or presentation in apps/web/src/components/editor/dialogs/shortcuts-dialog.tsx. Confirm how Split, Play, and Delete are labeled, then verify that their shortcut hints are visible and match the shortcuts dialog.
