Hello Dimitry and Chris,
the following code makes it possible to assign mnemonics to menu items in a
language-independent way, using ampersand &.
public void setLabelAndMnemonic(JMenuItem item, String inLabel) {
//Ampersand indicates that the character after it is a mnemo,
//unless the character is a space. In "Find & Replace",
//ampersand does not label mnemo, while in "&About", mnemo is
//"Alt + A".
String rawLabel = inLabel;
if (rawLabel==null) rawLabel = item.getLabel();
if (rawLabel==null) return;
item.setLabel(rawLabel.replaceAll("&([a-zA-Z])","$1"));
int mnemoSignIndex = rawLabel.indexOf("&");
if (mnemoSignIndex >= 0 && mnemoSignIndex+1 < rawLabel.length()) {
char charAfterMnemoSign = rawLabel.charAt(mnemoSignIndex+1);
if (charAfterMnemoSign!=' ')
item.setMnemonic(charAfterMnemoSign); }}
The code is copyright (C) Daniel Polansky, 2007, published under GNU GPL V2
or later, as usual. You may want to incorporate it into the coming version;
if so, I may, when the time of translations comes, tell the translators they
may use the ampersand & to indicate where they have chosen to set mnemonic.
Using ampersand is a standard way of indicating mnemos, says my web
research.
