Q: how to display menu accelerators

[Sandro Sabatini]

Hi,
just my .02$: If you use text strings for the keyboard modifiers then don’t forget that they have to be translated. Maybe that’s the reason that Apple still uses the „funky“ symbols?
Cheers, Saba

This is obviously not right. However, I'm not sure what is the correct solution here: Apple has these funky symbols that stand for Control, Option and Command, yet they seem to be absent on the most modern Apple keyboards. For example, on my MBP keyboard only Command key has a corresponding symbol above "Command" string. So, what should JDK display: symbols, or just plain "Control", "Option" and "Command"?
