I would like to use F1,F2… keys for my top level menu items. Currently I am using Alt+ character. The following code will display my Job form with “Alt + J”. I would like to be able to display certain forms when pressing a specific function key.

menu = plugins.menubar.addMenu();
menu.set("Job","J");
var item = menu.addItem(0).set("Job",globals.ShowJob,null,null,null,"J");

setAccelerator(‘F1’) doesn’t work ?

It works,when I press F1 my Job form is displayed.However, I did remove the Help menu which by default uses F1. Thanks for the help.

menu = plugins.menubar.addMenu();
menu.set("Job","J");
var item = menu.addItem(0).set("Job",globals.ShowJob,null,null,"F1",null);
