Method

voidaddShortcutToComponent(final JComponent component, final KeyStroke keystroke, final String actionCommand, final Action action)
Adds the shortcut to component. 
addShortcutToComponent(component, keystroke, JComponent.WHEN_IN_FOCUSED_WINDOW, actionCommand, action);
voidaddShortcutToComponent(JComponent component, KeyStroke keystroke, String actionCommand, Action action)
Adds the shortcut to component. 
addShortcutToComponent(component, keystroke, JComponent.WHEN_IN_FOCUSED_WINDOW, actionCommand, action);
voidbindAction(JComponent aComponent, String aCommand, Action anAction, KeyStroke aKeyStroke)
bind Action 
aComponent.getInputMap(JComponent.WHEN_FOCUSED).put(aKeyStroke, aCommand);
aComponent.getActionMap().put(aCommand, anAction);
voidbindKeyToAction(int keyCode, int modifiers, Action action, JComponent component, int condition)
bind Key To Action 
KeyStroke keyStroke = KeyStroke.getKeyStroke(keyCode, modifiers);
component.getInputMap(condition).put(keyStroke, action);
voidbindKeyToAction(JComponent c, KeyStroke key, Action a)
Convenience wrapper for #bindKeyToAction(JComponent,KeyStroke,Action,int) bindKeyToAction(c, key, a, JComponentn.WHEN_FOCUSED) . 
bindKeyToAction(c, key, a, JComponent.WHEN_FOCUSED);
voidclearActionBinding(final JComponent component, final KeyStroke keyStroke, final int condition)
Clears the action key registered under the given keystroke. 
InputMap map = component.getInputMap(condition);
while (map != null) {
    map.remove(keyStroke);
    map = map.getParent();
voidclearKeyStroke(JComponent component)
clear Key Stroke 
InputMap inputMap = component.getInputMap(JComponent.WHEN_IN_FOCUSED_WINDOW);
if (inputMap != null) {
    KeyStroke[] keyStrokes = inputMap.keys();
    if (keyStrokes != null) {
        for (KeyStroke keyStroke : inputMap.keys()) {
            if (KEYID.equals(inputMap.get(keyStroke))) {
                inputMap.remove(keyStroke);
                break;
...
voidcloseOnKeyStroke(JRootPane rootPane, KeyStroke keyStroke)
close On Key Stroke 
final String CLOSE_ACTION_NAME = "com.jakeapp.gui.swing.helpers.GuiUtilities.CloseFrameOnKeyStroke";
rootPane.getInputMap(JComponent.WHEN_IN_FOCUSED_WINDOW).put(keyStroke, CLOSE_ACTION_NAME);
rootPane.getActionMap().put(CLOSE_ACTION_NAME, CLOSE_ACTION);
booleancomponentListensForKey(JComponent component, int keyCode)
Returns whether a component listens for a key code, i.e. 
KeyStroke[] keyStrokes = component.getInputMap().allKeys();
if (keyStrokes == null)
    return false;
for (int i = keyStrokes.length - 1; i >= 0; i--) {
    if (keyCode == keyStrokes[i].getKeyCode()) {
        return true;
return false;
voidconfigAction(Action action, String text, Icon icon, KeyStroke keyStroke)
config Action 
action.putValue(NAME, text);
action.putValue(SMALL_ICON, icon);
action.putValue(ACCELERATOR_KEY, keyStroke);
