Method

voidaddAction(JComponent component, String kstr, AbstractAction action)
add Action 
KeyStroke ks = KeyStroke.getKeyStroke(kstr);
component.getInputMap().put(ks, ks);
component.getActionMap().put(ks, action);
voidaddComponentAction(final JComponent component, final Action action)
Adds a component action. 
final InputMap imap = component
        .getInputMap(component.isFocusable() ? JComponent.WHEN_FOCUSED : JComponent.WHEN_IN_FOCUSED_WINDOW);
final ActionMap amap = component.getActionMap();
final KeyStroke ks = (KeyStroke) action.getValue(Action.ACCELERATOR_KEY);
imap.put(ks, action.getValue(Action.NAME));
amap.put(action.getValue(Action.NAME), action);
voidaddEnterAction(JComponent c, Action a)
add Enter Action 
c.getActionMap().put("enter", a);
c.getInputMap().put(KeyStroke.getKeyStroke(KeyEvent.VK_ENTER, 0), "enter");
voidaddEnterAction(JComponent comp, Action action)
add Enter Action 
comp.getInputMap(JComponent.WHEN_IN_FOCUSED_WINDOW).put(KeyStroke.getKeyStroke("ENTER"), action);
comp.getActionMap().put(action, action);
voidaddFieldsValidateAction(Action action, JComponent... components)
Add an action to execute when the validation key (Enter) is pressed on all the given components. 
for (JComponent component : components) {
    addFieldValidateAction(component, action);
voidaddFieldValidateAction(JComponent field, Action action)
Add an action to execute when the validation key (Enter) is pressed. 
field.getActionMap().put("validate", action);
field.getInputMap().put(KeyStroke.getKeyStroke(KeyEvent.VK_ENTER, 0), "validate");
voidattachAccelerator(Action action, JComponent component)
attach Accelerator 
KeyStroke stroke = (KeyStroke) action.getValue(Action.ACCELERATOR_KEY);
String name = (String) action.getValue(Action.NAME);

voidbindAction(JComponent aComponent, String aCommand, Action anAction)
bind Action 
Object o = anAction.getValue(Action.ACCELERATOR_KEY);
if (o instanceof KeyStroke)
    bindAction(aComponent, aCommand, anAction, (KeyStroke) o);
else
    throw new IllegalArgumentException("Can not bind action, it has no keystroke assigned.");
voidcheckActions(JComponent aComponent)
check Actions 
ActionMap am = aComponent.getActionMap();
for (Object key : am.allKeys()) {
    Action action = am.get(key);
    if (action != null) {
        action.setEnabled(action.isEnabled());
ActionMapcloneActionMap(ActionMap original)
clone Action Map 
ActionMap map = new ActionMap();
Object[] keys = original.keys();
if (keys != null) {
    for (Object key : keys) {
        map.put(key, original.get(key));
