ok, i see. for an accelerator i suggest you write a mini plugin and register it with the workbench. make sure the enablecheck checks that your dialog has focus, so it does not get executed wildly. but you can try a standard accelerator first. an OJ shortcut would overrule it though and it wouldn't show up in the shortcut info under Help.
with regards to mnemonics - afaik they do not exist on Mac http://developer.apple.com/library/mac/#documentation/Java/Conceptual/Java14Development/07-NativePlatformIntegration/NativePlatformIntegration.html just checked OJ on Mac and even though OJ has them by default for the main menu's, the characters are not underlined. so using the Cmd key is effectively using a plain shortcut. you can easily ask your jre to give a proper description string for a KeyStroke. like private String getKeyStrokeText(KeyStroke stroke) { String mod = KeyEvent.getModifiersExText(stroke.getModifiers()); String out = (mod.length() > 0 ? mod + "+" : "") + KeyEvent.getKeyText(stroke.getKeyCode()); return out; } whatever the shortcut then, it'll print out the proper string (eg. Alt+key on win, Cmd+key on mac) for usage in your translation text. i use that in ShortcutKeysPlugin. finally, if you switch over to a shortcut i suggest you stick with an identical one for all platforms (with Ctrl being Cmd on mac being the exception). so either Alt+R or Ctrl/Cmd+R would be fine, seems like they currently unused. if you use JumpWorkbenchFrame.addKeyboardShortcut(KeyStroke stroke, PlugIn plugIn) a Ctrl+key shortcut is automagically mapped to Cmd+key on Mac. ..ede On 15.05.2013 05:55, Larry Reeder wrote: > Thanks Ede.
