- java.awt.MenuShortcut

All Implemented Interfaces:

java.io.Serializable

public class MenuShortcut extends java.lang.Object implements java.io.Serializable

The MenuShortcutclass 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('?'), 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.getMenuShortcutKeyMask().

Constructors
	Constructor and Description
	MenuShortcut	MenuShortcut(int key) Constructs a new MenuShortcut for the specified virtual keycode. public MenuShortcut(int key) Constructs a new MenuShortcut for the specified virtual keycode. Parameters: `key` - the raw keycode for this MenuShortcut, as would be returned in the keyCode field of a `KeyEvent` if this key were pressed. See Also: `KeyEvent`
	MenuShortcut	MenuShortcut(int key, boolean useShiftModifier) Constructs a new MenuShortcut for the specified virtual keycode. public MenuShortcut(int key, boolean useShiftModifier) Constructs a new MenuShortcut for the specified virtual keycode. Parameters: `key` - the raw keycode for this MenuShortcut, as would be returned in the keyCode field of a `KeyEvent` if this key were pressed. `useShiftModifier` - indicates whether this MenuShortcut is invoked with the SHIFT key down. See Also: `KeyEvent`

Methods
	Modifier and Type	Method and Description
	equals	`boolean` equals(MenuShortcut s) Returns whether this MenuShortcut is the same as another: equality is defined to mean that both MenuShortcuts use the same key and both either use or don't use the SHIFT key. public boolean equals(MenuShortcut s) Returns whether this MenuShortcut is the same as another: equality is defined to mean that both MenuShortcuts use the same key and both either use or don't use the SHIFT key. Parameters: `s` - the MenuShortcut to compare with this. Returns: `true` if this MenuShortcut is the same as another, `false` otherwise. Since: JDK1.1
	equals	`boolean` equals(java.lang.Object obj) Returns whether this MenuShortcut is the same as another: equality is defined to mean that both MenuShortcuts use the same key and both either use or don't use the SHIFT key. public boolean equals(java.lang.Object obj) Returns whether this MenuShortcut is the same as another: equality is defined to mean that both MenuShortcuts use the same key and both either use or don't use the SHIFT key. Overrides: `equals` in class `java.lang.Object` Parameters: `obj` - the Object to compare with this. Returns: `true` if this MenuShortcut is the same as another, `false` otherwise. Since: 1.2 See Also: `Object.hashCode()`, `HashMap`
	getKey	`int` getKey() Returns the raw keycode of this MenuShortcut. public int getKey() Returns the raw keycode of this MenuShortcut. Returns: the raw keycode of this MenuShortcut. Since: JDK1.1 See Also: `KeyEvent`
	hashCode	`int` hashCode() Returns the hashcode for this MenuShortcut. public int hashCode() Returns the hashcode for this MenuShortcut. Overrides: `hashCode` in class `java.lang.Object` Returns: the hashcode for this MenuShortcut. Since: 1.2 See Also: `Object.equals(java.lang.Object)`, `System.identityHashCode(java.lang.Object)`
	paramString	`protected java.lang.String` paramString() Returns the parameter string representing the state of this MenuShortcut. protected java.lang.String paramString() Returns the parameter string representing the state of this MenuShortcut. This string is useful for debugging. Returns: the parameter string of this MenuShortcut. Since: JDK1.1
	toString	`java.lang.String` toString() Returns an internationalized description of the MenuShortcut. public java.lang.String toString() Returns an internationalized description of the MenuShortcut. Overrides: `toString` in class `java.lang.Object` Returns: a string representation of this MenuShortcut. Since: JDK1.1
	usesShiftModifier	`boolean` usesShiftModifier() Returns whether this MenuShortcut must be invoked using the SHIFT key. public boolean usesShiftModifier() Returns whether this MenuShortcut must be invoked using the SHIFT key. Returns: `true` if this MenuShortcut must be invoked using the SHIFT key, `false` otherwise. Since: JDK1.1
