JavaFX 2.0: Set Accelerator (KeyCombination) for menu items

Using setAccelerator(KeyCombination value) method, you can assign menu accelerator, a key combination that performs the same action as the menu item.

Example:

package javafx_exmenu;

import javafx.application.Application;
import javafx.event.ActionEvent;
import javafx.event.EventHandler;
import javafx.scene.control.Menu;
import javafx.scene.control.MenuBar;
import javafx.scene.control.MenuItem;
import javafx.scene.Group;
import javafx.scene.Scene;
import javafx.scene.control.*;
import javafx.scene.input.KeyCombination;
import javafx.scene.paint.Color;
import javafx.stage.Stage;

/**
*
* @web http://java-buddy.blogspot.com/
*/
public class JavaFX_exMenu extends Application {

  /**
   * @param args the command line arguments
   */
  public static void main(String[] args) {
      launch(args);
  }

  @Override
  public void start(Stage primaryStage) {
      primaryStage.setTitle("java-buddy.blogspot.com");
      Group root = new Group();
      Scene scene = new Scene(root, 400, 300, Color.WHITE);
    
      //Top Menu Bar
      MenuBar menuBar = new MenuBar();

      Menu menu1 = new Menu("Menu");
    
      MenuItem menuItemA = new MenuItem("Item A");
      menuItemA.setAccelerator(KeyCombination.keyCombination("Ctrl+A"));
      menuItemA.setOnAction(new EventHandler<ActionEvent>() {
          @Override public void handle(ActionEvent e) {
              System.out.println("Item A Clicked");
          }
      });
    
      MenuItem menuItemB = new MenuItem("Item B");
      menuItemB.setAccelerator(KeyCombination.keyCombination("Ctrl+B"));
      menuItemB.setOnAction(new EventHandler<ActionEvent>() {
          @Override public void handle(ActionEvent e) {
              System.out.println("Item B Clicked");
          }
      });
    
      MenuItem menuItemC = new MenuItem("Item C");
      menuItemC.setAccelerator(KeyCombination.keyCombination("Ctrl+C"));
      menuItemC.setOnAction(new EventHandler<ActionEvent>() {
          @Override public void handle(ActionEvent e) {
              System.out.println("Item C Clicked");
          }
      });

      menu1.getItems().add(menuItemA);
      menu1.getItems().add(menuItemB);
      menu1.getItems().add(menuItemC);
      menuBar.getMenus().add(menu1);

      menuBar.prefWidthProperty().bind(primaryStage.widthProperty());
      root.getChildren().add(menuBar);
      primaryStage.setScene(scene);
      primaryStage.show();
  }
}
