Description

If you use keyboard shortcuts to create a new UIMA component, things don't quite work because many of the UIMA components get "filtered" by the keyboard keys. This may be fixable with proper accelerator key specifications.

Failing case for example:

1) select a Java project
2) press (assuming normal key bindings) ALT - f - n - o - u which is short for:
menu - File - New - Other - filter by "u". This shows the UIMA folder under "other", and also expands it, but filters it to only show strings containing words which start with a "u". So no component show up.
