The 508 Accessibility standards used to test the WAClient request that if an object has a pop-up menu, the pop-up menu should populate to the user's view by pressing the Application Key, when the object is selected. This action does not occur within the WAClient on any objects.

For example, open an image of WAClient and traverse through the Inventories Tree: Repositories -> DW: Demo Userreps -> physical tables. Select any physical table listed in this directory or the folder itself. You should have access to the object's shortcut menu via the Application key when the object is selected. The only current access to an object's shortcut menu is via a RMB click.

The problem is that Swing does not generate an event for the application menu key, that is to say the application context menu key, the one on pc keyboards that looks like a popup menu. There is no key definition for it in KeyEvent. Once there is and it is being fired appropriately, then I can add a keyboard action for it.
