<Swing Dev> Review Request of 8152492: [macosx swing] double key event actions when using Mac menubar

[Avik Niyogi]

Hi All,

Kindly review the bug fix for JDK 9.

Bug:
https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8152492 <https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8152492>

Webrev:
http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~aniyogi/8152492/webrev.00/ <http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~aniyogi/8152492/webrev.00/>

Issue:
For OSX, having there is provision of non-integrated menubar. for this case, triggering the menu action by key press triggered double action in some cases

Cause:
Due to the use of Shift modifier being a soft modifier in case of mac. For example “Shift + m” is actually “M” and “Shift + ,” is “<“ . 
So such cases can not be used as shortcuts. This needs to be accounted for.
Also, cases where “Cmd + Shift + c” is used as a shortcut, it should not morph that to a “Cmd + C” command and should detect c itself.
Also, “Shift + ↑” has no equivalent soft modification and can be taken as a shortcut. This has to be accounted for.

Fix:
All required edge case scenarios for the soft modification of Shift and cases of valid modifiers were taken into account.

With Regards,
Avik Niyogi
