Solution

  • try this:

    menuItem.setAccelerator(KeyStroke.getKeyStroke(
    java.awt.event.KeyEvent.VK_S, 
    java.awt.Event.CTRL_MASK));

    where VK_S is the the key you want and CTRL_MASK is the control key.

    There is another option by using

    menuItem.setMnemonic('F');

    this will work if you press ALT+F when running your program

    for just DELETE use

    jMenuItem1.setAccelerator(javax.swing.KeyStroke.getKeyStroke(java.awt.event.KeyEvent.VK_DELETE, 0));
