But in the current proposal currently selected menuItem
will get a "new" mouse keyPressed event without keyReleased
event, right? Note that this new events will contradicts the
spec of MenuSelectionManager.processKeyEvent() which states
that the menuElements should not process the keyEvents itself.

It is also possible to set the accelerator for the menuitem to
"F1+CTRL" and I think it should have more priority than the tooltip key.

BTW I assume that "ESCAPE" shortcut to hide the tooltip was
not implemented intentionally.
