#624 Option+F shows File menu instead of node color dialog (Mac)

[Isaac]

When pressing Option+F in Mac OS X, the Format->Node color dialog should show up, but instead the File menu does (in a weird position)

In 0.9.0 Beta 15 Format -> Node color... has Option+Shift+F assigned which works fine.

Option+F is the shortcut for the file menu. The problem under Mac OS X is that the shortcut is not visible and that the menu is not displayed on the correct position. But this should probably be tracked in a different issue.

What do you mean with "not correct position"? Above the window instead of above the screen? That should be a Java limitation.

When I click the File menu with the mouse the menu is displayed on the correct position.

When pressing Alt+F the menu is displayed on a different position which is confusing to Mac users.

In http://developer.apple.com/documentation/Java/Conceptual/Java14Development/07-NativePlatformIntegration/NativePlatformIntegration.html Apple suggests the following:

The problem is partially handled for you automatically if you use the apple.laf.useScreenMenuBar system property. A better solution though is for you to not to use mnemonics for Mac OS X. If you want mnemonics on another platform, just include a single setMnemonics() method that is conditionally called (based on the platform) when constructing your interface.
