Can we set multiple accelerators for a JMenuItem?

Hi,

I have my code as follows (Modified). Created action myCutAction1 similar to myCutAction and passed it to createAction() method.This method setting the accelator to keystrokes as shortcuts using item.setAccelerator(aShortCut);

The problem is.. i dnt want to show Cut1(Shift+Delete) menu item in myEditMenu JMenu in my GUI.

Whenever i am making Cut1 menuitem to not to visible in myEditMenu using setVisible(false),it is not seen myEditMenu but the thing is the keystroke (Shift+Delete) also not working. I want only the Shift+Delete operation to work though the menu item Cut1 in made invisible.

 /** Action for cutting values */
  private ExtendedAction myCutAction;
  /** Action for cutting values */
  private ExtendedAction myCutAction1;

  myCutAction = createAction("Cut", myEditMenu, false,KeyStroke.getKeyStroke(KeyEvent.VK_X, KeyEvent.CTRL_MASK));
  myCutAction1 = createAction("Cut1", myEditMenu, false,KeyStroke.getKeyStroke(KeyEvent.VK_DELETE, KeyEvent.SHIFT_MASK));

  myCutAction.setEnabled(somethingSelected);
  myCutAction1.setEnabled(somethingSelected);

  private ExtendedAction createAction(String aName, JMenu aParentMenu, boolean aCheckBox, KeyStroke aShortCut){
  return createAction(aName, aParentMenu, aCheckBox, aShortCut, false);
  }

  private ExtendedAction createAction(String aName, JMenu aParentMenu, boolean aCheckBox, KeyStroke aShortCut, boolean useResource){
    StringTokenizer st = new StringTokenizer(aName); 
    String actionName = new String("");
    // Remove space, \t, \n, \r, \f
    while (st.hasMoreTokens()) {
     actionName = actionName.concat(st.nextToken());
    }
    ExtendedAction action = new ExtendedAction(APPLICATION+"."+WINDOW+"."+actionName+"Action");
    action.addActionListener(this);
    String menuText;

    if (useResource == true)
    menuText = ResourceHandler.getWidgetString(APPLICATION, WINDOW, aName+"MenuItem");
    else
    menuText = aName;     

    JMenuItem item = new JMenuItem(menuText);
    setName(item, actionName+"MenuItem");
    if (aShortCut != null  )
    item.setAccelerator(aShortCut);        
     }
    if (aParentMenu != null){
      aParentMenu.add(item);
    }
     action.connectComponent(item);
    }
    myModel.getActions().addElement(action);
    return action;
  }
