Class MenuShortcut
- All Implemented Interfaces:
- Serializable
MenuShortcut class represents a keyboard accelerator
 for a MenuItem.
 Menu shortcuts are created using virtual keycodes, not characters. For example, a menu shortcut for Ctrl-a (assuming that Control is the accelerator key) would be created with code like the following:
 MenuShortcut ms = new MenuShortcut(KeyEvent.VK_A, false);
 
or alternatively
 MenuShortcut ms = new MenuShortcut(KeyEvent.getExtendedKeyCodeForChar('A'), false);
 
 Menu shortcuts may also be constructed for a wider set of keycodes
 using the java.awt.event.KeyEvent.getExtendedKeyCodeForChar call.
 For example, a menu shortcut for "Ctrl+cyrillic ef" is created by
 
 MenuShortcut ms = new MenuShortcut(KeyEvent.getExtendedKeyCodeForChar('ф'), false);
 
 Note that shortcuts created with a keycode or an extended keycode defined as a constant in KeyEvent
 work regardless of the current keyboard layout. However, a shortcut made of
 an extended keycode not listed in KeyEvent
 only work if the current keyboard layout produces a corresponding letter.
 
 The accelerator key is platform-dependent and may be obtained
 via Toolkit.getMenuShortcutKeyMaskEx().
