How do you write a working key listener in java that responds to an 'enter'?

Answer 1

Almost all controls' ActionListener triggers the actionPerformed upon the enter key press == == Using an anonymous class implementation:

Component c; // this is the component you want to add a listener to

c.addKeyListener(new KeyListener() {

public void keyPressed(KeyEvent e) {

if(e.getKeyChar() == e.VK_ENTER) {

// put the code you want to execute when Enter is pressed here

System.out.println("ENTER PRESSED");

}

}

// unused abstract methods

public void keyTyped(KeyEvent e) {}

public void keyReleased(KeyEvent e) {}

});
