Hi!
I'm new in SWT, try to do some simple excercises.
I found that accelerator keys (Reyboard shortcuts) dont'work in a popup menu as they do in a menubar. I have not found any discussion or solution of the issue in the internet, even no hints, except for the single question in this forum (https://www.eclipse.org/forums/index.php/t/505996/), that is left without answer.

The Item2 is an item of the main menu, shotcut works fine:

  	item2.setText("Item&2\tCtr+2");
  	item2.setAccelerator(SWT.MOD1 | '2');

The item3 is a pop-up menu item, the menu and item itself works fine, but the accelerator don't work:

 	item3.setText("Item&3\tCtr+3");
  	item3.setAccelerator(SWT.MOD1 | '3');

The full code is attached.

Can anybody explain what's the matter? Is such a behaviour implemented by intention? Is my way wrong? What is the right way - how should one make shortcuts in popup menu work?
