Moving between JTextPanes with TAB key?

Hello,

I have a panel in which I placed 4 JTextPanes. I want to move cursor
with TAB key between JTextPanes but when I pressed TAB it inserts TAB
char.

How could I achieve to move between JTextPanes with TAB key?

Thanks....

I'm not sure if this is the most compact code to do it, but:

HashSet keys = new
HashSet(ta.getFocusTraversalKeys(KeyboardFocusManager.FORWARD_TRAVERSAL_KEYS));
keys.add(AWTKeyStroke.getAWTKeyStroke("pressed TAB")) ;
ta.setFocusTraversalKeys(KeyboardFocusManager.FORWARD_TRAVERSAL_KEYS,
keys) ;
keys = new
HashSet(ta.getFocusTraversalKeys(KeyboardFocusManager.BACKWARD_TRAVERSAL_KEYS));
keys.add(KeyStroke.getKeyStroke("shift pressed TAB")) ;
ta.setFocusTraversalKeys(KeyboardFocusManager.BACKWARD_TRAVERSAL_KEYS,
keys) ;

... and assume that "ta" is your JTextArea.
