Handling Key Presses
You can get the key that was pressed either as a key character
(which is a Unicode character) or as a key code (a special value
representing a particular key on the keyboard).
component.addKeyListener(new MyKeyListener());
public class MyKeyListener extends KeyAdapter {
public void keyPressed(KeyEvent evt) {
// Check for key characters.
if (evt.getKeyChar() == 'a') {
process(evt.getKeyChar());
}
// Check for key codes.
if (evt.getKeyCode() == KeyEvent.VK_HOME) {
process(evt.getKeyCode());
}
}
}
