Hello everybody!

My problem is:

I would like to have Keyboardshortcuts in my application. (e.g. STRG+Q =
exit appl.) So I need to know how I can find out, which key is pressed on
the keyboard. How do I get this information? Or is there an easier way to
implement shortcuts?

Thankx for your help

See MenuItem.setAccelerator().

If you are talking about keyboard shortcuts in the context of eclipse, you
should ask this question in the eclipse platform newsgroup:
