This example changes the focus traversal keys for the entire application. For an example of how to change the focus traversal keys for a particular component, see e610 Setting Focus Traversal Keys in a Component.
// Change the forward focus traversal keys for the application
Set set = new HashSet(
KeyboardFocusManager.getCurrentKeyboardFocusManager().getDefaultFocusTraversalKeys(
KeyboardFocusManager.FORWARD_TRAVERSAL_KEYS));
set.clear(); // Call clear() if you want to eliminate the current key set
set.add(KeyStroke.getKeyStroke("F2"));
KeyboardFocusManager.getCurrentKeyboardFocusManager().setDefaultFocusTraversalKeys(
KeyboardFocusManager.FORWARD_TRAVERSAL_KEYS, set);
// Change the backward focus traversal keys for the application
set = new HashSet(
KeyboardFocusManager.getCurrentKeyboardFocusManager().getDefaultFocusTraversalKeys(
KeyboardFocusManager.BACKWARD_TRAVERSAL_KEYS));
set.clear(); // Call clear() if you want to eliminate the current key set
set.add(KeyStroke.getKeyStroke("F3"));
KeyboardFocusManager.getCurrentKeyboardFocusManager().setDefaultFocusTraversalKeys(
KeyboardFocusManager.BACKWARD_TRAVERSAL_KEYS, set);
// Remove all forward and backward focus traversal keys for the application
set.clear();
KeyboardFocusManager.getCurrentKeyboardFocusManager().setDefaultFocusTraversalKeys(
KeyboardFocusManager.FORWARD_TRAVERSAL_KEYS, set);
KeyboardFocusManager.getCurrentKeyboardFocusManager().setDefaultFocusTraversalKeys(
KeyboardFocusManager.BACKWARD_TRAVERSAL_KEYS, set);
