You should add more information on what you are trying to accomplish and the minimum code to replicate your problem (see [here for instructions on that](http://stackoverflow.com/help/mcve)). In your case the code should be create a window and create your menu — baudsp, Sep 13 '16 at 07:33

try this:

menuItem.setAccelerator(KeyStroke.getKeyStroke(
    java.awt.event.KeyEvent.VK_S, 
    java.awt.Event.CTRL_MASK));

where VK_S is the the key you want and CTRL_MASK is the control key.

There is another option by using

menuItem.setMnemonic('F');

this will work if you press ALT+F when running your program

for just DELETE use

jMenuItem1.setAccelerator(javax.swing.KeyStroke.getKeyStroke(java.awt.event.KeyEvent.VK_DELETE, 0));

Also, in netbeans if you double click on the shortcut on the menu (in the design view), a new dialog will pop up and from this you are able to add your shortcut key. However, i don't have any experience with eclipse – Petros Sep 13 '16 at 07:43
