#18579 — How To: Make Keyboard Keys To Execute A Method?

Hello,

How do I get a sequence of keyboard keys to execute a method.

For example, if someone types the "control" key, "shift" key, and the "enter" key I want to execute a method called "keyboard_input". Do you also have a working example.

Thank you,

KeyListener is fairly low-level; it might be appropriate for "a 
sequence of keyboard keys." The rest of your question mentions keys 
used as modifiers, for which key bindings are considerably more 
convenient.

 See http://mindprod.com/jgloss/jmenu.html

the easiest way is to make the keys accelerator shortcuts for a menu.
