In "Build" menu there is an action named "Stop Build/Run". I assign to this JMenuItem the accelerator "Escape". In "Build" menu there is an action named "Build Main Project". I assign to this JMenuItem the accelerator "F7". How I this possible in Java? I try this in my programs MANY times but nothing. Single keys doesn't work like accelerators. They need a modifier key. So, how the netbeans do this? thanks PS: I want to add an "F1" accelerator to menuitem: help->help index --- * Synchronet * The Whitehouse BBS --- whitehouse.hulds.com --- check it out free usenet! --- Synchronet 3.15a-Win32 NewsLink 1.92 Time Warp of the Future BBS - telnet://time.synchro.net:24
