/**
 * The <code>MenuShortcut</code>class represents a keyboard accelerator 
 * for a MenuItem.
 * <p>
 * Menu shortcuts are created using virtual keycodes, not characters.  
 * For example, a menu shortcut for Ctrl-a (assuming that Control is
 * the accelerator key) would be created with code like the following: 
 * <p>
 * MenuShortcut ms = new MenuShortcut(KeyEvent.VK_A, false);
 * <p>
 * The accelerator key is platform-dependent and may be obtained
 * via {@link Toolkit#getMenuShortcutKeyMask}.
