Swing, customize the behavior of mnemonic access

[subwiz]

I have a JLabel, which has a mnemonic binding to a JTextField. When I
access using the mnemonic key-combination, the cursor is placed in the
JTextField. But I want to override this behavior and make a complete
selection of the text in the JTextField also. Is this possible?

See JTextComponent#selectAll(), for example:
