menu shortcut shows text and not symbol

Hi,

I set an accelerator on an action that I use in a menu item like this:

action.putValue(ACCELERATOR_KEY, KeyStroke.getKeyStroke(KeyEvent.VK_PERIOD, InputEvent.CTRL_MASK));

In the menu item, I get something like:

<menu text> Ctrl-PERIOD

note the word period is spelt out in text but I want it to show:

<menu text> Ctrl-.

i.e. using the period symbol

Can anyone help me with this?

I know this may be a LAF thing but if so, is it possible to tweak my current LAF , maybe via UIManager to do this?

Party on,

Jim
