java.lang.Object | +--java.awt.AWTKeyStroke
An AWTKeyStroke
represents a key action on the
keyboard, or equivalent input device. AWTKeyStroke
s
can correspond to only a press or release of a
particular key, just as KEY_PRESSED
and
KEY_RELEASED
KeyEvent
s do;
alternately, they can correspond to typing a specific Java character, just
as KEY_TYPED
KeyEvent
s do.
In all cases, AWTKeyStroke
s can specify modifiers
(alt, shift, control, meta, or a combination thereof) which must be present
during the action for an exact match.
AWTKeyStrokes
are immutable, and are intended
to be unique. Client code should never create an
AWTKeyStroke
on its own, but should instead use
a variant of getAWTKeyStroke
. Client use of these factory
methods allows the AWTKeyStroke
implementation
to cache and share instances efficiently.

The default values used are:
Key Char | KeyEvent.CHAR_UNDEFINED |
Key Code | KeyEvent.VK_UNDEFINED |
Modifiers | none |

Method Detail |
protected static void registerSubclass(Class subclass)
AWTKeyStroke
will use when generating new
instances of AWTKeyStroke
s. After invoking this
method, the factory methods will return instances of the specified
Class. The specified Class must be either AWTKeyStroke
or derived from AWTKeyStroke
, and it must have a
no-arg constructor. The constructor can be of any accessibility,
including private
. This operation
flushes the current AWTKeyStroke
cache.
subclass
- the new Class of which the factory methods should create
instances
IllegalArgumentException
- if subclass is null
,
or if subclass does not have a no-arg constructor
ClassCastException
- if subclass is not
AWTKeyStroke
, or a class derived from
AWTKeyStroke
public static AWTKeyStroke getAWTKeyStroke(char keyChar)
AWTKeyStroke
that represents a KEY_TYPED
event for the
specified character.
keyChar
- the character value for a keyboard key
AWTKeyStroke
object for that keypublic static AWTKeyStroke getAWTKeyStroke(Character keyChar, int modifiers)
AWTKeyStroke
,
given a Character object and a set of modifiers. Note
that the first parameter is of type Character rather than
char. This is to avoid inadvertent clashes with
calls to getAWTKeyStroke(int keyCode, int modifiers)
.
The modifiers consist of any combination of:
keyChar
- the Character object for a keyboard charactermodifiers
- a bitwise-ored combination of any modifiers
AWTKeyStroke
object for that keyInputEvent
public static AWTKeyStroke getAWTKeyStroke(int keyCode, int modifiers, boolean onKeyRelease)
AWTKeyStroke
,
given a numeric key code and a set of modifiers, specifying
whether the key is activated when it is pressed or released.
The "virtual key" constants defined in
java.awt.event.KeyEvent
can be
used to specify the key code. For example:
java.awt.event.KeyEvent.VK_ENTER
java.awt.event.KeyEvent.VK_TAB
java.awt.event.KeyEvent.VK_SPACE
keyCode
- an int specifying the numeric code for a keyboard keymodifiers
- a bitwise-ored combination of any modifiersonKeyRelease

public static AWTKeyStroke getAWTKeyStroke(int keyCode, int modifiers)
AWTKeyStroke
,
given a numeric key code and a set of modifiers. The returned
AWTKeyStroke
will correspond to a key press.
The "virtual key" constants defined in
java.awt.event.KeyEvent
can be
used to specify the key code. For example:
java.awt.event.KeyEvent.VK_ENTER
java.awt.event.KeyEvent.VK_TAB

,
InputEvent
public static AWTKeyStroke getAWTKeyStrokeForEvent(KeyEvent anEvent)
AWTKeyStroke
which represents the
stroke which generated a given KeyEvent
.
This method obtains the key char from a KeyTyped
event, and the key code from a KeyPressed
or
KeyReleased
event. The KeyEvent
modifiers are
obtained for all three types of KeyEvent
.
anEvent
- the KeyEvent
from which to
obtain the AWTKeyStroke
AWTKeyStroke
that precipitated the eventpublic static AWTKeyStroke getAWTKeyStroke(String s)
AWTKeyStroke
.
The string must have the following syntax:
<modifiers>* (<typedID> | <pressedReleasedID>) modifiers := shift | control | ctrl | meta | alt | button1 | button2 | button3 typedID := typed <typedKey> typedKey := string of length 1 giving Unicode character. pressedReleasedID := (pressed | released) key key := KeyEvent key code name, i.e. the name following "VK_".If typed, pressed or released is not specified, pressed is assumed. Here are some examples:
"INSERT" => getAWTKeyStroke(KeyEvent.VK_INSERT, 0); "control DELETE" => getAWTKeyStroke(KeyEvent.VK_DELETE, InputEvent.CTRL_MASK); "alt shift X" => getAWTKeyStroke(KeyEvent.VK_X, InputEvent.ALT_MASK | InputEvent.SHIFT_MASK); "alt shift released X" => getAWTKeyStroke(KeyEvent.VK_X, InputEvent.ALT_MASK | InputEvent.SHIFT_MASK, true); "typed a" => getAWTKeyStroke('a');
