What do you mean by "the command next to _the_ menu disappeared"?
On my gvim 7.3.189 I have eight menus:

File
Edit
Tools
Syntax
Buffers
Window
DrChip
Help

The File, Edit, Tools and Window menus included the keyboard
commands, the others do not.

The :scriptnames command shows that the main menus come from
$VIMRUNTIME/menu.vim. Opening that file and searching for "Edit"
shows these lines

" Edit menu
an 20.310 &Edit.&Undo<Tab>u u
an 20.320 &Edit.&Redo<Tab>^R <C-R>
an 20.330 &Edit.Rep&eat<Tab>\. .

You can see that the keyboard commands are embedded in the "an"
commands the define each menu item.

Take a look at your $VIMRUNTIME/menu.vim file and see if the
keyboard commands are there as in the Edit menu above. The folks at
Canonical may have removed them.
