Make F1 short cut key in Swing

Question

I have a Java Swing app in Which I have been able to set shortcut keys using the following piece of code. For example Ctrl+K.

keyHelp.setAccelerator(KeyStroke.getKeyStroke(KeyEvent.VK_K, Event.CTRL_MASK));
keyHelp.setMnemonic((int) 'K');//This is the Line I need Help in 

I just can't figure out how to add the same using F1 key as the shortcut... Could anyone please help?

Answer 1

Using Action, as shown here and here, can make these settings easier to manage. Also consider getMenuShortcutKeyMask() instead of assuming Event.CTRL_MASK.

Answer 2

use,

KeyEvent.VK_F1

I think it will help you.
