Build Identifier: I20100608-0911 The new Java Class wizard has duplicated mnemonic keys. For example, Alt + V is used for both the private modifier of the class, and for the main method checkbox. Alt + T is used for both the protected class modifier, and for the abstract modifier. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Create a java project 2. Open the new Java Class wizard 3. Press Alt to see the mnemonic keys
It's hard to resolve those conflicts. Can you provide a non-conflicting solution? Note that 'F' is reserved for 'Finish' and we must only use 'a' to 'z' and 'A' to 'Z'.

That page is really crowded, but one option could be this: 1. Since there are 4 Browse buttons, and two of them use the same mnemonic -Alt + w- (I just noticed that), maybe the four buttons could use the same mnemonic (I know, this would still be a problem of repeated mnemonics, but that would leave 2 letters available: o and e) 2. Use Alt + O for the main method 3. Use Alt + E for the Protected modifier.
>I know, this would still be a problem of repeated mnemonics, Right, this would just shuffle the problem around. So unless you have a non-conflicting solution I'll close this as WONTFIX (or rather CANTFIX ;-).
The two 'Bro&wse' buttons are never enabled at the same time, so there's no conflict there. 'private' and 'protected' are only enabled if there is an enclosing type. We could remove their mnemonics so that you can toggle the conflicting checkboxes all the time (and access the remaining modifiers with Alt+U, Right (,Right)).

For "v", it's actually more common that you want to make the nested class private, so we won't change that. For "t", there's a tie between abstract and protected with no clear preference, so we leave that as well as it is.
