Hi,

Thank you for your answers about special accelerators keys.
It looks like there's no really satisfying solution. :(

you can use following code:

class SymAction extends AbstractAction

{

public SymAction(String actionCom, int keyCode, int keyMask)

{

super(actionCom);

int shortcutKeyMask = Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().getMenuShortcutKeyMask();

putValue(AbstractAction.ACCELERATOR_KEY, KeyStroke.getKeyStroke(keyCode, keyMask | shortcutKeyMask));

}

public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e)

{

System.out.println("SymAction.actionPerformed() : "+e.getActionCommand());

}

...

JMenu menu = new JMenu("The Menu");

SymAction sym = new SymAction("Add Something", KeyEvent.VK_ADD, 0);

JMenuItem mi = new JMenuItem(sym);

mi.setActionCommand("Add Something COMMAND");

menu.add(mi);

...

At least this works with the Command- "+" on extended keyboard or with Num-pad ON for MacBook keyboards.

Looks like it only works when you create a "AbstractAction" and set the accelerator with putValue(...).

Regards

Robert
