optionsMenu = new JMenu("Options");
optionsMenu.setMnemonic(KeyEvent.VK_O);
optionsMenu.getAccessibleContext().setAccessibleDescription("Options Menu");
menuBar.add(optionsMenu);

However, when I actually hit O in runtime, the menu doesn't open. What gives?

It should respond to alt-o, not just o. – Hovercraft Full Of Eels Jan 20 '16 at 19:10
How do I make it respond to O? – Daniel Paczuski Bak Jan 20 '16 at 19:11
To respond to just O use [Key Bindings](http://docs.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/uiswing/misc/keybinding.html) not mnemonics. – Hovercraft Full Of Eels Jan 20 '16 at 19:15
