Well we could ask GOD, The Good Ole Doc :-)

Item 4 of the translation guidelines says
Keyboard shortcuts are denoted by a leading '&'. For example '&Add',
which is translated into French by '&Ajouter', can be triggered from
keyboard using Alt + A. Be careful when changing letters, to avoid
keyboard entry conflicts within one menu. If you deviate from the
original shortcut keys, pgAdmin users might have problems remembering
shortcuts in both English and translated pgAdmin versions. Therefore, be
careful creating new shortcuts if you cannot choose the same letter.

So in doubt, retain the T as shortcut, using As&tuce.

Andreas
