InputMap focusedMap = getInputMap(JComponent.WHEN_ANCESTOR_OF_FOCUSED_COMPONENT);

focusedMap.put(KeyStroke.getKeyStroke(KeyEvent.VK_DOWN, 0), "vkDown");
getActionMap().put("vkDown", new AbstractAction() {
     @Override
     public void actionPerformed(final ActionEvent e) {
          myCustomAction();
     }
});

Do you have to do all this code for every key, replacing each name ("vkDown"), or is there an easy way for multiple keys to call one custom process which has to know which key was pressed?
