    * <LI> <code>A</code> stands for the Alt key
    * <LI> <code>S</code> stands for the Shift key
    * <LI> <code>M</code> stands for the Meta key
    * </UL>
    * The format also supports two wildcard codes, to support differences in
    * platforms.  These are the preferred choices for registering keystrokes,
    * since platform conflicts will automatically be handled:
    * <UL>
    * <LI> <code>D</code> stands for the default menu accelerator - the Control
    *  key on most platforms, the Command (meta) key on Macintosh</LI>
    * <LI> <code>O</code> stands for the alternate accelerator - the Alt key on
    *  most platforms, the Ctrl key on Macintosh (Macintosh uses Alt as a
    *  secondary shift key for composing international characters - if you bind
    *  Alt-8 to an action, a mac user with a French keyboard will not be able
    *  to type the <code>[</code> character, which is a significant handicap</LI>
    * </UL>
    * If you use the wildcard characters, and specify a key which will conflict
    * with keys the operating system consumes, it will be mapped to whichever
    * choice can work - for example, on Macintosh, Command-Q is always consumed
    * by the operating system, so <code>D-Q</code> will always map to Control-Q.
    * <p>
    * Every modifier before the hyphen must be pressed.
    * <em>identifier</EM> can be any text constant from {@link KeyEvent} but
    * without the leading <code>VK_</code> characters. So {@link KeyEvent#VK_ENTER} is described as
    * <code>ENTER</code>.
