I try to use mnemonic keys to quickly set to focus from one control to
another.
I tried the "displayedMnemonic" property of JLabel and "focusAccelerator"
property of JTextField.   It works, the user can switch to a control with
(for example) the Alt-A combination.

There is just one BIG problem :  the A is inserted into the text field as
any regular key.
Is it a way to avoid easily this behaviour.
