Description Nick Edgar CLA 2001-10-10 22:30:55 EDT 
In the Perspective menu, the Previous and Next actions have accelerator text: "ALT+UP" and "ALT+DOWN".
The should be "Alt+Up Arrow" and "Alt+Down Arrow" instead.  
"Ctrl" is used elsewhere, not "CTRL".
Also compare with Back and Forward in Go menu of Explorer.

NOTES:

	Should really change Action to do this for the caller who specifies "ALT+ARROW_UP" etc.
	Currently it keeps the given accelerator text in verbatim.
	Accelerators should be specified as constants, not as strings in the text,
	and JFace should insert the accelerator text as necessary in pull-down menus (not in context menus or menu bars).
	The current solution is not workable for multiple languages.

NE (05/28/01 11:45:39 AM)	
	Too late to change JFace API.
	Could change existing API to map existing keys to proper English words (and enable other languages)

	Must also change accelerators ALT + Arrow Keys conflict with native combo box.
