Keyboard Binding |
Other Swing Changes |
New Keyboard Binding Infrastructure
The new keyboard binding infrastructure unifies and replaces the two previously existing schemes for binding user input (for example, Control-S) to program actions (for example, saving a file). The Swing Connection article Keyboard Bindings in Swing has details about the old and new keyboard binding schemes, including example code.
The API changes for the new infrastructure center around two new classes -- ActionMap and InputMap. Other changes include new methods in JComponent, LookAndFeel, and SwingUtilities, as well as a few new special-purpose classes that descend from ActionMap and InputMap.
See:
- javax.swing.ActionMap
- javax.swing.InputMap
- javax.swing.ComponentInputMap
- javax.swing.plaf.ActionMapUIResource
- javax.swing.plaf.InputMapUIResource
- javax.swing.plaf.ComponentInputMapUIResource
New methods in JComponent:
- public ActionMap getActionMap()
- public InputMap getInputMap()
- public InputMap getInputMap(int condition)
- public void setActionMap(ActionMap map)
- public void setInputMap(int condition, InputMap map)
New methods in LookAndFeel:
- public static void loadKeyBindings(InputMap retMap, Object[] keys)
- public static ComponentInputMap makeComponentInputMap(JComponent c, Object[] keys)
- public static InputMap makeInputMap(Object[] keys)
New methods in SwingUtilities:
