JMenuItems tricks for displaying short cut text

[Bill White]

example
Cut Ctrl+X
Copy Ctrl+C
Paste Ctrl+V
I cant get the short cut text to line up neatly. Just placing spaces doesnt work. And ideas here?
What I am getting is:
Cut Ctrl+X
Copy Ctrl+C
Paste Ctrl+V

Not too sure how you are trying to add the accelorator keystroke to the JMenuItem but here is the way you should be doing it.

menuItem = new JMenuItem("A text-only menu item", KeyEvent.VK_T);
menuItem.setAccelerator(KeyStroke.getKeyStroke( KeyEvent.VK_1, ActionEvent.ALT_MASK));

Gregg,
Thanks for the reply.
I will be honest I didn't follow you at first but after I actually RTFM'd. I saw exactly what you meant.
Thanks a bunch!!!
