Press F1 key to open Help Contents

[Doctor Cactus]

Hi, I'm sure there is a simple way to do this. I have a menu, and by pressing CTRL + A, for example, it launches that menu. Here's the code:


contents.setAccelerator(KeyStroke.getKeyStroke(Key Event.VK_A,
ActionEvent.CTRL_MASK));


How would I do the same thing by pressing the F1 key, and is the solution the same for all the F keys?

Help is greatly appreciated.

I think that this can best be done using key binding. There's a decent tutorial on this on the Sun Swing tutorial site, here: How to Use Key Bindings (The Java™ Tutorials > Creating a GUI with JFC/Swing > Using Other Swing Features)
