NativeMenuItem keyModifier with function key (AIR)

[kinjal patel]

Hello,

I have a native menu item with a shortcut for a simple letter like "F".

<fx:Declarations>
                <fx:XML format="e4x" id="menuData"> 
                        <root> 
                                <menuitem label="File"> 
                                        <menuitem label="New" 
keyEquivalent="f6" controlKey="false"/> 
                                        <menuitem label="Open" 
keyEquivalent="o" controlKey="true"/> 
                                        <menuitem label="Save" 
keyEquivalent="s" controlKey="true"/> 
                                        <menuitem label="Save As..."  
                                                          keyEquivalent="s"  
                                                          controlKey="true"  
                                                          shiftKey="true"/> 
                                        <menuitem label="Close" 
keyEquivalent="w" controlKey="true"/> 
                                </menuitem> 
                                <menuitem label="Edit"> 
                                        <menuitem label="Cut" keyEquivalent="x" 
controlKey="true"/> 
                                        <menuitem label="Copy" 
keyEquivalent="c" controlKey="true"/> 
                                        <menuitem label="Paste" 
keyEquivalent="v" controlKey="true"/> 
                                </menuitem> 
                        </root> 
                </fx:XML> 
<s:menu>
                <mx:FlexNativeMenu dataProvider="{menuData}"  
                                                   labelField="@label"  
                                                   
keyEquivalentField="@keyEquivalent"  
                                                   
keyEquivalentModifiersFunction="keyEquivalentModifiers"  
                                                   showRoot="false"  
                                                   itemClick="trace('click:', 
event.label);"/> 
                
        </s:menu>
        <s:VGroup>
                <s:Label text="Enter Some Test Here" />
                <s:TextArea height="100" width="100"
keyDown="textarea1_keyDownHandler(event)" />
        </s:VGroup>

        
I have a native menu item with a shortcut for a simple letter like "F".

<s:menu> 
    <mx:FlexNativeMenu id="mainMenu"
                       dataProvider="{menuData}"  
                       labelField="@label"  
                       keyEquivalentField="@keyEquivalent"  
                       showRoot="false" /> 
</s:menu> 

<fx:Declarations>
    <fx:XML format="e4x" id="menuData"> 
        <root> 
            <menuitem label="Edit"> 
                <menuitem label="Frame Selection" keyEquivalent="f"/>
            </menuitem> 
        </root> 
    </fx:XML>
</fx:Declarations>
This works great, but when I try to type text in any textfield or textInput
anywhere in the app,
 I cant ever type f.

How can stop the menu from stealing my keyboard input ?
