The java.awt.MenuShortcut class represents such a keyboard accelerator.
This class has two constructors:
public MenuShortcut(int key)
public MenuShortcut(int key, boolean useShiftModifier)
key argument
is the raw keycode that will be
used to invoke this menu item.
If useShiftModifier is true, then the shift key must be held down for this shortcut to be activated. useShiftModifier is false by default.
To add an accelerator key to a menu item, pass a MenuShortcut to the item's setShortcut() method. For example,
MenuShortcut pShortcut = new MenuShortcut(KeyEvent.VK_P);
MenuItem mi = new MenuItem("Print...");
mi.setShortcut(pShortcut);
MenuItem() constructor like this:
MenuShortcut pShortcut = new MenuShortcut(KeyEvent.VK_P);
MenuItem mi = new MenuItem("Print...", pShortcut);
MenuItem's deleteShortcut() method; for example:
mi.deleteShortcut();
