Method Detail

setHelpAccelerato

public void setHelpAccelerato(javax.swing.JMenuItem helpMenuItem)

Set the accelerator for the "Help" menu item.

Known bug : This does not work with Mac OS X. The Help key would be Command-?, but there is no no KeyEvent for "?". There are some hacks, but they don't work for internaltional keyboards (like using Shift-/ to get a "?"). For example, on the German keyboard the "?" is Shift-ß.
