Description dfields 2001-06-18 16:38:45 UTC 
Currently (to the best of my knowledge) you have to add an int value in the "mnemonic" field for keyboard accelerators for buttons and menu items, etc.

It does not accept 'F' or something, only a number.

It would be very useful if this could be enhanced, despite the fact that the "mnemonic" is an int property as far as its bean pattern goes.

Currently, it is not very useful this way; all the code ends up being:

initComponents();
something.setMnemonic('F');

in the constructor.

Now, it's impossible set mnemonic as 'F', but after fix issue 12903, this
setting will accepted.
