如何在NetBeans菜单栏中添加快捷键？

Question

I am developing a Netbeans RCP application, in this we needed a custom menu bar so i created a XML layer file, and in it i created a folder called Test in Menu bar folder.But unfortunately i do not know how to add shortcuts to it Eg: like Alt+f which opens the pop options of File menu. I am able to add actions and shortcuts to sub menus created under Test but i am unable to add shortcuts to the Test menu itself.I want the menu to open its pop up with Alt+B command.Could someone give many ideas on how to do this.

Answer 1

I was able to fix this by adding a Mnemonic key to the Menu "Test" by adding displayname attribute to the "Test" folder in layer.xml file

<folder name= "Menu">
   <folder name="Test"> 
      <attr name="displayName" bundlevalue="com.test.MenuBar.Bundle#Menu/Test"/>
   </folder>
</folder>

and in the module's Bundle.properties I added

Menu/Test=Te&st

Here the character after & will be taken as the Mnemonic key ie character "S" . So if you invoke "Alt+S" the "Test" menu pop-up will be displayed
