If you're developing on Mac OS X, use accelerators instead of mnenomics, which are not suppported under the native look and feel Apple Java development guide

Swing was designed to use Key Bindings for this type of functionality. You create an Action and map a KeyStroke to invoke this Action. Read the section from the Swing tutorial on How to Write an Action for more information.

Basically you're need to set mnemonics for appropriate buttons. Also you can set some accelerators for menu items. Here is a rather good example.
