I am creating an Eclipse plugin and using the SWT popup menu(context menu) for one of the controls in plugin. The context menu item works, but the accelerator(shortcut) that I set for the menu item has no effect and it does not work.I create the menuitem like this,

MenuItem parent = new Menu( getShell(), SWT.POP_UP );
MenuItem menuItem = new MenuItem(parent, SWT.PUSH);
menuItem.setText( "Click me");
menuItem.setAccelerator( SWT.CTRL+ 'F');
Note that the shortcut problem is there for the POP_UP menu, not the BAR menu item.
