In the current version of Swing that I'm using (0.4)
Jcomponent. registerKeyboardAction does not allow to specify action
commands, thus making impossible to share keyboard listeners.

E.g. One can specify action commands for JMenuItems and then handle
all menu events with one ActionListener. Similar functionality is desirable
for Swing keyboard listeners.

The reason it came to my attention was that I tried to implement global
menu hotkeys which are not supported in Swing (might be a separate RFE).
At that time my code contained one ActionListener that handled all menu
commands distinguishing among them by means of action commands. If I could
specify action commands for keyboard actions I would have been able to
use the same action listener to handle hotkeys by specifying identical
action commands. I couldn't do this and I had to split one action listener
into several small ones to handle individual requests, which resulted
in unnecessary bloated code.
