The localized texts used in methods #addI15dLabel and #addI15dTitle can contain an optional mnemonic marker. The mnemonic and mnemonic index are indicated by a single ampersand (&). For example "&Save", or "Save &as". To use the ampersand itself, duplicate it, for example "Look&&Feel".

Note: The CellConstraints objects for the label and the component must be different. Cell constraints are implicitly cloned by the FormLayout when added to the container. However, in this case you may be tempted to reuse a CellConstraints object in the same way as with many other builder methods that require a single CellConstraints parameter. The pitfall is that the methods CellConstraints.xy**(...) just set the coordinates but do not create a new instance. And so the second invocation of xy***(...) overrides the settings performed in the first invocation before the object is cloned by the FormLayout.

Wrong:

 builder.add("name.key", cc.xy(1, 7), // will be modified by the code below
 nameField, cc.xy(3, 7) // sets the single instance to (3, 7)
 );
 

 builder.add("name.key", cc.xy(1, 7).clone(), // cloned before the next modification 
 nameField, cc.xy(3, 7) // sets this instance to (3, 7)
 );
