In standard e4 application, it is possible to assign mnemonic to the menu item by put ampersand (&) to the letter like "E&xit".

It seems it is not working with e(fx)clipse.

Thanks

JavaFX uses _ for mnemonics - I'm uncertain whether the renderer should
replace & through _ automagically, leanig towards no.

I think _ is good for me. It seems _ does not work with menu item thought. Menu item does not work with Mnemonics field either.

The toolbar is work with _. I didn't know about it. Thanks a lot.

I should have mentioned.

It is Windows 7 JDK 8 Build b109. Eclipse 4.3.1. All of them is 64 bit.

And latest (a few minutes ago) e(fx)clipse run-time.

Hi Tom,

I think I was confused with something else. It is actually working. I thought menu mnemonics should display short cut key besides the menu but that is something else.

Yes _ work with menu mnemonics. Sorry about all confusion I made and thank again for your help.

those are keybindings - we don't yet support showing bound keys in the
menu, i have filed https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=418875
and scheduled it for 1.0

That's great! I didn't even know key binding is not working but I think eventually I need it some time.

KeyBindings do work (they did since a long time), what did not work was
that the binding is shown next to the item but what should i say: It was
an easy fix and so i just pushed it to master, build just kicked off.

Naturally they only work with handled menu items, so if you have a
MenuItem bound to a command and a keybinding is bound to the same
command you should now see the trigger sequence in the menu-item.

Need to see if we show them as well on the toolitems later on, time to
sleep.
