Accelerator keys in MAC !!!!

I've set accelerator keys for Refresh Action(F5) using..............
putValue(Action.ACCELERATOR_KEY, KeyStroke.getKeyStroke(KeyEvent.VK_F5,
0));
thought it works on pressing F5....the accelerator is not displayed alongwith the MenuItem in the menubar. : (
{ However other accelerators for which I'm setting accelerators are working fine and showing 'Comm sign' + C........say for copy.................where i did this..........
putValue(Action.ACCELERATOR_KEY, KeyStroke.getKeyStroke(KeyEvent.VK_C,
Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().getMenuShortcutKeyMask()));
Can Somebody suggest????....
ALso can you tell me how can i set an accelerator for Help key in MAC..which is Command Key + '?'
Actually I need the Key code for '?' key
Thanks : )

I'm sorry for editing so late...............
The problem that accelerators not showing on the menu item is on MAC.
THe problem is only when there;s not modifier like a Comm or Ctrl ....and the accelerator is just say F6......
In that case the accelerator F6 is not displayed in the menuitem as it does with modifiers...and evn on Win.

Accelerator keys temporarily unavailable after changin JMenuBar objects

We have an application that needs to toggle between two different JMenuBar objects depending on what the user is doing. So our primary window constructs the two menus, stores both, and switches which one it is using with setJMenuBar.
The problem is that, on Windows, the first time we switch menus, all the accelerator keys stop working until the user takes a mouse action in the frame somewhere. If the user operates any widget (like a menu item or button), or even opens a menu but doesn't click anything, all the accelerators suddenly become available.
Actions that DO cause the accelerators to become available:
- A mouse click on a widget inside this frame (as long as the click is not entirely consumed by an internal element)
- Resizing the window
- Minimizing / restoring the window
- Switching to another application and back
- Simulating any such mouse click with a Robot
Actions that DON'T cause the accelerators to become available:
- Mouse Moves
- Clicks on internal widgets that implement MouseListener
- Programmatically operating widgets with doClick(), even if clicking on that widget would re-enable the accelerators
NOTE: this seems to only affect Windows. I haven't tried it on Linux yet, but the bug does not affect Mac OS X, so it doesn't look like I'm doing anything explicitly wrong when I switch menu bars.
Has anyone else seen this, or can you suggest a fix or workaround? My current workaround is to simulate a click on the menu bar with a Robot after the first time we switch menu bars. But that's terribly kludgy and I'd like to find a better solution.
Thanks,
Evan

Has anyone else seen this,No.
If you need further help then you need to create a [Short, Self Contained, Compilable and Executable, Example Program (SSCCE)|http://homepage1.nifty.com/algafield/sscce.html], that demonstrates the incorrect behaviour.
Don't forget to use the Code Formatting Tags so the posted code retains its original formatting. That is done by selecting the code and then clicking on the "Code" button above the question input area.

Javafx accelerator keys

I have found information about how to setup accelerator keys, but they seem to be attached to the scene instead of the control. This would work fine, but it seems that even when the control has been removed, replaced or even disabled the control the accelerator key still wants to fire. Is there another way to do this, for example have the action event of a button fire when you press "CTRL-S", but only when the button is active and visible.
Thank you

How to activate JMenu from other frame using accelerator key

Hi.
I'm developing an application for my final year project.
i set up my application to have multiple frame open at the same time (like sunone studio in SDI mode). only one JFrame contains the JMenuBar.
i can activate this menu bar using the accelerator key when the containing JFrame has focus. however, i donot know how to make the Menu activate when the accelerator key is pressed on other frame. press help, thanks in advance.

does any one have some idea.
the solution i found seem not suit my need.
i want to be able to pull down (and get the focus transfered to) the jmenu in menubar of another frame using the menu's mnemonics. using InputMap does not seem to fit since i need to the menmonic of menu is not in the input map.

JTabbedPane w/ Accelerator Keys

I need to add accelerator keys to the tabs of a JTabbedPane, much like the accelerators in a JMenuItem (i.e. under-score for Alt-F, or CTRL-X, etc...).
Any suggestions?
Thanks!

It doesn't support accelerator, but it does support mnemonics. Check out the API for more information.

With kind regards,

Replacement Keyboard keys for Mac Book Pro 17in 2007

Just google your topic: "Replacement Keyboard keys for Mac Book Pro 17"

Accelerator key - is this a bug in Swing?

Hello to everyone.
I've written this Swing app which has JMenu.
Anyway, i have set accelerator keys on most of JMenuItems but here is what is not working:
JMenuItem exPaperXML = new JMenuItem("Paper XML");
exPaperXML.setAccelerator(KeyStroke.getKeyStroke(KeyEvent.VK_F10, 0));As you can see, I tried to set F10 to be accelerator key for this JMenuItem.
It doesn't work. It doesn't fire exPaperXML.actionPerformed(..) event, but
instead it highlights File JMenuItem (which doesn't have accelerator key set at all).
For example, I have set F9 as accelerator key for another JMenuItem and it works fine.
What do you think, is this a bug in Swing?
My JDK version is 1.4.2_05
Thanks!

1) Read the JMenuBar API.
2) Click on the "JMenuBar Key Assignments" link
3) Click on "Key Java"
4) Note how F10 is used to select the first item.camickr thank you for quick reply.
Is there a way to override this default action?
Thanks.

That isn't entirely true. The ALT key is recognized. I've used it
successfully
under Windows 95 and NT. The only annoying side-effect is that you get the
standard operating system beep when you perform the keypress.

The Window class has a method named SetAsFunctionKey
and an event named FunctionKeyPress. When used
in combination, the former can be used to configure
various accelerator keys for the window widgets
and the latter can be used to trap them.
For more details, take a look at Forte online help.

Let's say I have a pushbutton on a window and I've given it
label text of "&Search". In past developer-lives, the ampersand
is what gives the button the ability to respond to ALT-S. This
doesn't appear to be the case in Forte. What do I need to do
to make this work?
Thanks in advance,
Troy Burns

Hi,Beau Leo, I am having problem installing Oracle9i Database Rel.2 on my pc.
I read the suggestion and solution you posted for fixing Oracle 8.1.x installation
probblem, and since my pc also hung at 48% while installing Oracle 9i software,
I wonder if the same problem in the Oracle8 Vs.Pentium4 also exists for Oracle9i.
I have Windows2000,256RAM, Pentium3 1Ghz, and 13.8 free diskspace. But the installation always
hangs at 48%, my computer will just shut down and restart automatically without
even showing an error message. I have tried installing the Enterprise edition for 3
times already but everytime encountered the same problem. I've also tried custom installation
by selecting not to create database, but it also hung.
Before I started each installation, I always made sure that my registry and environment
path are cleared and that all the partially-installed Oracle files are deleted.
I hope that you or anyone who has a solution for this problem could be so kindly to help me out.
Thank you in advance.

Can i use 'iGetter' (a third party download accelerator) to download Mac OS X v10.7.4 update?

can i use 'iGetter' (a third party download accelerator) to download Mac OS X v10.7.4 update? im running 10.7.2

Third party download manangers usually end up causing problems when downloading apps from the App Store.
Try installing the OS X Lion Update 10.7.4 (Client Combo)
That will update your Mac to v10.7.4 but be aware that file size is 1.4 GB.
Bear in mind, if at some point you need to reformat or repair the startup disk or reinstall the Mac OSX, you would need to use Lion Recovery which requires broadband access to the Internet via Wi-Fi or an Ethernet connection

Returning when I press apostrophe key in Mac Mail. HELP!!! Before I lose my mind!

When I press the apostrophe key in Mac Mail, the cursor returns to the line below. I realize that RETURN and ' are next to each other so some may say something is stuck in my keyboard. I normally would agree, however, this problem is only happening in Mac Mail. Does anyone know how to fix this?

No, you won't. Back it up anyway; you may want to use a program such as Carbon Copy Cloner or SuperDuper to create a bootable clone on another drive.

Accelerator keys on actions

I have a menu where i insert a lot of actions like this:
ActionMap actions = menuBar.getActionMap();
// fill actions with a lot of actions
JMenu fileMenu = (JMenu) menuBar.add(new JMenu(Utils.getTextKey("menu.file"))); fileMenu.add(new JMenuItem(actions.get("action.save")));
Each action has:
- ACCELERATOR_KEY
- DEFAULT
- SMALL_ICON
values set, and they show up in the menu with icon and a pretty shortcut with another color. But the accelerator keys doesn't work.
So I try to make a InputMap:
InputMap inputs = menuBar.getInputMap(JPanel.WHEN_IN_FOCUSED_WINDOW);
for (int i = 0; i < actionList.length; i++) {
String name = (String) actionList.getValue(Action.DEFAULT);
actions.put(name, actionList[i]);
inputs.put((KeyStroke) actionList[i].getValue(Action.ACCELERATOR_KEY), name);
The accelerator keys still doesn't work!
The MenuBar is inside a JPanel that is inside the main JPanel.
The rest of the application is inside a lot of JPanels and JTabs and others.
How is this supposed to work?

Yeah, I tried that too...
JCheckBoxMenuItem gridToggle = new JCheckBoxMenuItem(actions.get("action.grid_toggle"));
gridToggle.setAccelerator((KeyStroke)actions.get("action.grid_toggle").getValue(Action.ACCELERATOR_KEY));
gridMenu.add(gridToggle);
I even tried to give the JMenuItem another KeyStroke thos way, overriding the action, and the menu had the last kaystroke, but doesn't work.
Is there any magic that has to be initialized on the outermost frame or something to make those accelerators work?
