Hello,
If I correctly understand it, you want to show the command shortcut in the Spreadsheet context menu. To do this, you can handle the SpreadsheetControl.PopupMenuShowing event, find the required menu item, and modify an item caption using the SpreadsheetMenuItem.Caption property.
Please review the following code snippet, which demonstrates how to show the "CTRL+C" shortcut for the "Copy" context menu item.

C#
private void SpreadsheetControl_PopupMenuShowing(object sender, PopupMenuShowingEventArgs e)
{
    foreach (var item in e.Menu.Items)
        if (item is SpreadsheetMenuItem && (item as SpreadsheetMenuItem).Id == SpreadsheetCommandId.CopySelection)
            (item as SpreadsheetMenuItem).Caption += " (CTRL+C)";
}

      If so, can I change the caption in the designer?

      You can look attached image.
      I think that can change it in the following order.

      1. Run Designer.
      2. Sub Menus & Popup Menus Click
      3. Menu Object Select
      4. Menu Select
      5. Change Caption

        Context menu items and their captions are dynamically generated before the context menu is opened. Thus, captions cannot be changed at design time. I can only recommend you use the PopupMenuShowing event to customize these captions.
