hi all,

in a swing application i'm developing, i need to give a feature that,
certain button click event should be fired when a predefined key is
pressed. i can't use mnemonics because it need a "alt+key" combination
rather than a single key presses. please advice..

Use the KeyStroke class:

KeyStroke.getKeyStroke(KeyEvent.VK_F1,
java.awt.event.InputEvent.ALT_MASK);
