Description Martin Krauskopf 2007-02-14 12:36:02 UTC
Probably we need to consider some with HIE. See issue 83952 for more details.
Comment 1 Milan Kubec 2007-02-14 12:47:16 UTC
Jano, please provide list of mnemonics for j2seproject. Thanks.
Comment 2 Tomas Zezula 2007-02-14 13:41:17 UTC
To Milan: When some input from someone from other team is needed it's better to
reassign the issue to him, the queries like all my issues will work for him.

See a11y FAQ (copied from http://a11y.netbeans.org/a11yFAQ.html):

Q: Do items in the context menu require mnemoncis?
A: No they do not and please do not assign mnemonics to context menus. We discourage using 
mnemonics in the context menus because there is a swing problem that does not shift focus between 
items with the same mnemonic in a menu.The context menu is generated dynamically in NetBeans so 
there is no way to guarantee that all items will have unique mnemonics. Keyboard access via Shift+F10 (to 
open) and the arrow keys is sufficient for making the context menus accessible.
Comment 4 Martin Krauskopf 2007-02-14 14:45:28 UTC
Please read the issue 83952, comment from "mkrauskopf Thu Sep 14 08:14:29 +0000
2006". Probably that FAQ is obsolete and should be deleted. There is not any
reason now to not having mnemonics (as Firefox, Thunderbird, etc.).
Comment 5 Jan Becicka 2008-02-18 15:47:00 UTC
should be trivial to fix.
Comment 6 Tomas Zezula 2008-02-20 09:00:24 UTC
It cannot be fixed on the j2seproject layer, most of the actions come from project ui and other modules.
So the project ui needs to define mnemonics for standard actions and than the other modules need to choose the non
conflicting ones.
Probably the issue on project ui is enough.
