Java Menu Action Masks

Im just wondering, When you create a menu item, eg:

Java:
menuItem = new JMenuItem("Launch", KeyEvent.VK_A);
menuItem.setAccelerator(KeyStroke.getKeyStroke(KeyEvent.VK_A, ActionEvent.CTRL_MASK)); //Important line of code :)
menuItem.getAccessibleContext().setAccessibleDescription("This doesn't really do anything yet");
menu.add(menuItem);


What can I use just to set the accelerator as 'A' for example. without a meta, Shift Crtl mask.

so you are using
code:

static KeyStroke        getKeyStroke(Character keyChar, int modifiers)
          Returns a shared instance of a KeyStroke that represents a KEY_TYPED event for the specified Character object and a set of modifiers.

but...

and so the linked page also specifies
code:

static KeyStroke        getKeyStroke(char keyChar)
          Returns a shared instance of a KeyStroke that represents a KEY_TYPED event for the specified character.


unless I'm misinterpreting something...

No I was using
Java:
getKeyStroke(int keyCode, int modifiers)
but now looking at it I thought "I bet this is an extremly easy problem to fix if I check KeyEvent" surly enough super easy: getKeyText(int keyCode) So I fixed it from

Java:
menuItem.setAccelerator(KeyStroke.getKeyStroke(KeyEvent.VK_A, ActionEvent.CTRL_MASK));
//too
menuItem.setAccelerator(KeyStroke.getKeyStroke(KeyEvent.getKeyText(KeyEvent.VK_A)));


I need to pay more attention -_-. thnx for helping anyways Smile I found my answer from what u said.
