The MenuShortcut class represents a keyboard accelerator for a MenuItem. 

Menu shortcuts are created using virtual keycodes, not characters.
For example, a menu shortcut for Ctrl-a (assuming that Control is
the accelerator key) would be created with code like the following:

 MenuShortcut ms = new MenuShortcut(KeyEvent.VK_A, false); 
 or alternatively

 MenuShortcut ms = new MenuShortcut(KeyEvent.getExtendedKeyCodeForChar('A'), false); 
 Menu shortcuts may also be constructed for a wider set of keycodes using the java.awt.event.KeyEvent.getExtendedKeyCodeForChar call. For example, a menu shortcut for "Ctrl+cyrillic ef" is created by 

MenuShortcut ms = new MenuShortcut(KeyEvent.getExtendedKeyCodeForChar('\u0444'), false);

 Note that shortcuts created with a keycode or an extended keycode defined as a constant in KeyEvent work regardless of the current keyboard layout. However, a shortcut made of an extended keycode not listed in KeyEvent only work if the current keyboard layout produces a corresponding letter. 
 The accelerator key is platform-dependent and may be obtained via Toolkit.getMenuShortcutKeyMaskEx().

The virtual keycode for the menu shortcut.
This is the keycode with which the menu shortcut will be created.
Note that it is a virtual keycode, not a character,
e.g. KeyEvent.VK_A, not 'a'.
Note: in 1.1.x you must use setActionCommand() on a menu item
in order for its shortcut to work, otherwise it will fire a null
action command.
