I implement the workaround you suggested:
canvas3D.addKeyListener( new KeyControls( frame ) );
Notice I pass my menu container, in this case a JFrame, to the constructor
of the listener (KeyControls class).
My KeyControls is similar to the one you can find in the J3DFly source code,
but instead of handling any KeyEvents right there, I have
public void keyPressed(final java.awt.event.KeyEvent evt) {
// forward it to the frame
frame.dispatchEvent(evt);
}
Now, even if the canvas3D has focus, both menu accelerators and mnemonic's
work. I'm not sure, but as far as I know this will not mess up the normal
event thread.
