If you don’t want to register a listener on every component,
you could add your own KeyEventDispatcher
to the KeyboardFocusManager
:
public class MyFrame extends JFrame {
private class MyDispatcher implements KeyEventDispatcher {
@Override
public boolean dispatchKeyEvent(KeyEvent e) {
if (e.getID() == KeyEvent.KEY_PRESSED) {
System.out.println("tester");
} else if (e.getID() == KeyEvent.KEY_RELEASED) {
System.out.println("2test2");
} else if (e.getID() == KeyEvent.KEY_TYPED) {
System.out.println("3test3");
}
return false;
}
}
public MyFrame() {
add(new JTextField());
System.out.println("test");
KeyboardFocusManager manager = KeyboardFocusManager.getCurrentKeyboardFocusManager();
manager.addKeyEventDispatcher(new MyDispatcher());
}
public static void main(String[] args) {
MyFrame f = new MyFrame();
f.pack();
f.setVisible(true);
}
}
