Keylistener and tab key

Thread view:

I am implementing a KeyListener to listen for key presses. This works ok
except does not pick up tab key presses. Does anybody know of a workaround
for this problem?

I am using Red Hat Linux os by the way (don't know if the problem is
operating system dependant).

The Focus system traps the TAB key by default. See the Component method,
setFocusTraversalKeys().
