I'm using a JToolbar with several JButtons, running WinNT. I want to be
able to use keyboard shortcuts to access them (e.g. CTRL-Q). I tried
setMnemonic('q'), but that requires an ALT-Q, but I want CTRL-Q. I tried
adding a KeyListener, but it only works when the JToolbar has focus and
that's not accepable because you need to be able to use the
keyboard-shortcuts at any point in the app. Any ideas?
