Re: handling command / control keys

There again, I quite agree with you, the best way to do it is a special 
attribute in xml, but I'd rather prefer this kind ot syntax :

<menuitem action="exitAction" accelerator="control Q" 
macos_meta_accelerator="true" macos_quit="true"/>

Like you, I have to write it in Java while waiting for a patch
But I definitely think this should be handled by SwiXml
