...Moving this to Swing/JFC/AWT

[Chantal Ackermann]

use the method JMenuItem.setAccelerator(KeyStroke)
this method will add the shortcut string to the menuitem and trigger the action that is a attached to your menuitem.
cheers

MenuItem.setShortcut(MenuShortcut)

Chantal Ackermann please give me the example in AWT not in Swing for shortcutmenu.
I have already used the method of
MenuItem.setShortcut(MenuShortcut);
