I looked through the manual
(https://doc.qt.io/qt-5/linguist-translators.html) and did not find an
option to disable translation for such options. It should however be
possible to remove the shortcuts from the .ts files and add them to the
cpp files instead using the setShortcut method of QActions. See:

 - https://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qaction.html#shortcut-prop
 - https://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qkeysequence.html#details
