KeyStroke and JMenu

I wanted Command-`, and Command-~ on menus. I couldn't find a VK_TILDE, so I used VK_BACK_QUOTE both times, with InputEvent.SHIFT_MASK on the latter. This works fine as far as using the keyboard goes, but when my Action is in a JMenu, Command-~ shows up as Shift-Command-`.

I also wanted Command-{ and Command-} like Safari. using VK_BRACELEFT and VK_BRACERIGHT gives me the right rendering on a JMenu, but the keys don't seem to work. using shifted VK_OPEN_BRACKET and VK_CLOSE_BRACKET -- isn't KeyEvent a model of naming consistency? -- gives me the wrong rendering in a JMenu (Command-Shift-[ and Command-Shift-]), but at least the keystrokes work (and are what you'd expect: Command-{ and Command-}).

I assume this is a bug in Apple's LAF? Shifted keys that have two glyphs painted on the key cap should appear Command-<upper glyph>, right?

I'm confused by VK_BRACELEFT and VK_BRACERIGHT, mind. Either Sun have seen a keyboard with separate unshifted {, or those constants shouldn't exist.
