Here’s an update for modern browsers in 2019 let playerSpriteX = 0; document.addEventListener(‘keyup’, (e) => { if (e.code === “ArrowUp”) playerSpriteX += 10 else if (e.code === “ArrowDown”) playerSpriteX -= 10 document.getElementById(‘test’).innerHTML = ‘playerSpriteX = ‘ + playerSpriteX; }); Click on this window to focus it, and hit keys up and down <br><br><br> <div id=”test”>playerSpriteX … Read more
It is possible. KeyboardFocusManager.getCurrentKeyboardFocusManager() .addKeyEventDispatcher(new KeyEventDispatcher() { @Override public boolean dispatchKeyEvent(KeyEvent e) { System.out.println(“Got key event!”); return false; } }); That will grab all key events. Returning false allows the keyboard focus manager to resume normal key event dispatching to the various components. If you want to catch key combos, you can keep a set … Read more
keyPressed – when the key goes down keyReleased – when the key comes up keyTyped – when the unicode character represented by this key is sent by the keyboard to system input. I personally would use keyReleased for this. It will fire only when they lift their finger up. Note that keyTyped will only work … Read more

Here is the example how I use it. from pynput import keyboard def on_press(key): if key == keyboard.Key.esc: return False # stop listener try: k = key.char # single-char keys except: k = key.name # other keys if … Read more
There is a simple trick for this. After you constructed the frame with all it buttons do this: frame.getRootPane().setDefaultButton(submitButton); For each frame, you can set a default button that will automatically listen to the Enter key (and maybe some other event’s I’m not aware of). When you hit enter in that frame, the ActionListeners their … Read more
If you don’t want to register a listener on every component, you could add your own KeyEventDispatcher to the KeyboardFocusManager: public class MyFrame extends JFrame { private class MyDispatcher implements KeyEventDispatcher { @Override public boolean dispatchKeyEvent(KeyEvent e) { if (e.getID() == KeyEvent.KEY_PRESSED) { System.out.println(“tester”); } else if (e.getID() == KeyEvent.KEY_RELEASED) { System.out.println(“2test2”); } else if … Read more
