Capturing the TAB key event.

How can I capture the TAB key event?
I am trying to use it within a JTextField to do a normal text tab operation.
Thanks,
D

I want to map the Tab key to a jTextField so that when the user is editing inside the jTextField they can press the TAB key to tab over a predefined number of characters.
Thanks,
D

Adf javascript clientlistener not capturing the TAB keypress event

Hi,
I have client listener attached to a text field to trap the keyPress event. The method is being called for all the key strokes except special keys like TAB, arrow keys, pageup, pagedown etc. Is there any possibility to capture TAB key event.
<af:clientListener method="myFunctionTosetFocus"
type="keyPress"/>
function myFunctionTosetFocus(event) {
alert('function called....')
var keyCodePressed = event.getKeyCode();
if(keyCodePressed == AdfKeyStroke.ENTER_KEY || keyCodePressed == AdfKeyStroke.TAB_KEY) {
alert('Do some thing here....')
I can see both the alert messages when I click on the ENTER key. But I cannot see both the alert messages when I cick on TAB key. The same is working without any problems in firefox.
Thanks and Regards,
S R Prasad

Hi Frank,
I tried with the event.cancel(). Now I can see the event.cancel() working for ENTER key, But not for the TAB key. I tried with the keyDown event in the clientListener and it is working with out any problems in both IE and firefox.
It is not working as expected in case of keyUp event, If I set the focus to the next tab in the clientListener code, it is executing the clientListener of the destination component if the clientListener event is keyUp.
Overall it is wotking as expected with the keyDown, But it is not working for the keyUp and keyPress events. All these are working as expected in firefox.
Thanks and Regards,

KeyEvents with the TAB Key

Hey All,
I have a small progam with a small problem. My program is an applet with numerous textfields and I have implemented the KeyEvents event listener. What I want to have happened when I press the "Tab Key" is the cursor move from one tab to another, but when it goes to the next tab it clears out the text that is currently in the textfield. Take a look at my code segment that is giving me the problem.
public void keyPressed(KeyEvent e)
if(NameField == e.getSource())
if(e.getKeyCode() == KeyEvent.VK_TAB)
SalaryField.setText(" ");
I know that is works if I replace "VK_TAB" with something else like "VK_A". "NameField" and "SalaryField" are the names of mt textfields. I am currently using Java SDK 1.3.1 to program in java program, but my browser uses JVM/Runtime Enviornment 1.4.1. When I run it with my broswer nothing happens when I press tab and some for the program that I am using to progam in. I did a search in the forum and came up with I have above, but still cannot it to work. When I read APIs on 1.4.1 and 1.3.1 that both said that
"Aside from those keys that are defined by the Java language (VK_ENTER, VK_BACK_SPACE, and VK_TAB), do not rely on the values of the VK_ constants. Sun reserves the right to change these values as needed to accomodate a wider range of keyboards in the future."
What is going on? How can I solve this problem?
Thanks,
Iceman
PS:
My Interface is swing

Hey All,
Thanks for the help I got to work when I ran it with my programming program, but when I run it in a browser using the current JVM the tab key does not work. What is wrong now? Or how am I to use FocusListener now, I tried to use the getOppositeComponent(, my complier says that it is not a method of FocusListener. Even though java says in the docmentation that it is. Can I get some more help here. The questions again is How can I tab in a applet?

How to recognize the tab key in a JTextField

I have a drawing program with a main window and a tools palette, which is a JDialog. The tools palette has JToggleButtons and one JTextField. When you have the focus in the JTextField and you press tab repeatedly, it tabs through all the JToggleButtons and then back into the JTextField.
However I would like to recognize the pressing of the tab key and ask for the focus to go back to the main window.
I subclassed the JTextField, added a KeyAdapter, but it does not recognize the tab key. I also added the processKeyBinding method, but it doesn't recognize the tab key either.
How can I recognize the tab key?
Here is a self-contained test program that illustrates the problem:

Wow, Michael, you work like magic! Thanks so much! I would be happy to give you a commercial key to my Ananya Curves program also once the second release is on my website. It's a program for drawing curves in an easier way without pulling on tangent lines, with all control points right on the curve. Just send me an email to [email protected] if you are interested!

Disable the tab key

I have TextFields in a column (one under each other). If I select a TextField clicking with the mouse on it, I can move to the next one pressing the tab key. How can I disable this?
Thanks in advance.

You really should not disable this as it's standard GUI practice. But, if you must, I can think of two ways:
One would be to setup a key listener that is active when somone is in any of those fields....if the key is tab, you eat up that key event.
or
set the controls isFocusTraversable() to false.

Detecting the TAB key

With a recent release of Java, a KeyListener no longer detects the TAB key, which is now apparently considered to be a focus event, not a keyboard event. It is critical to our application, a terminal emulator, that we be able to detect TAB and SHIFT-TAB. I read somewhere about a work-around involving a FocusListener, but a FocusListener does not report when the TAB key is pressed. Can somebody help me here?

I seem to have solved the problem, and I'd like to present my solution in case anybody else runs across the problem.
We use an AWTEventlistener. This is intended to watch AWT events but not handle them. However, there is no reason why we shouldn't process tab events within it. AWT will continue to process the tab key as a focus switch, but this solution enabled us to get our applet working again. I hope that future releases of Java will pay more attention to backward compatibility however, so that this kind of fix is not needed.
In the canvas class:
// Add the event listener provided we are on a version of the VM
// that supports it.
try {
if (Class.forName("java.awt.event.AWTEventListener")!= null) {
Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().addAWTEventListener(new Myeventlistener(), AWTEvent.KEY_EVENT_MASK);
} catch (Throwable e) {}
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
public class Myeventlistener implements AWTEventListener
public void eventDispatched(AWTEvent e)
KeyEvent k = (KeyEvent) e;
if (k.getID() == k.KEY_PRESSED) {
if (k.getKeyCode() == 9) {
if (k.isShiftDown())
// Process as BackTab Key
else
// Process as tab Key

OnKeyTyped ignores the Tab key

Hello,
using Windows XP, SP 3, JavaFX 1u1 on Java 1.6.0_11 with the NetBeans JavaFX plugin, I noticed that the onKey[Pressed/Released/Typed] functions would not get key events caused by pressing the Tab key. Is there any reason for that?

Typically, Tabs are consumed by the Focus subsystem and not passed along. See this tutorial that discusses Focus Listeners.
http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/uiswing/events/focuslistener.html
The Key Listener tutorial below has example code (near the bottom) that shows how to make Tab events available to a Key Listener at these lines:
//Uncomment this if you wish to turn off focus
//traversal. The focus subsystem consumeshttp://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/uiswing/events/keylistener.html

Tab key event not fired in JTabbedPane

Hello,
I wanted to add the functionality of moving between tabs when Ctrl+Tab is pressed like Windows tabs.
But the tab key listener event is not getting fired by pressing Tab. For all the other key pushes it is working good. It this a problem with Java? Any workarounds?
Here is the sample code:
import javax.swing.*;
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
public class TestTab extends JFrame
     public void drawGUI()
          //getContentPane().setLayout(new GridLayout(1, 1));
          JTabbedPane lTabbedPane = new JTabbedPane();
          JPanel lFirstPanel = new JPanel();
          lFirstPanel.add(new JLabel("First Panel"));;
          JPanel lSecondPanel = new JPanel();
          lSecondPanel.add(new JLabel("Second Panel"));;
          lTabbedPane.addTab("Tab1", null, lFirstPanel, "Does nothing");
          lTabbedPane.addTab("Tab1", null,lSecondPanel, "Does nothing");
          getContentPane().add(lTabbedPane);
          lTabbedPane.addKeyListener(new KeyAdapter()
               public void keyPressed(KeyEvent lKeyEvent)
                    System.out.println(lKeyEvent.getKeyText(lKeyEvent.getKeyCode()));
          setDefaultCloseOperation(WindowConstants.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
     public static void main(String[] args)
          TestTab lTestTab = new TestTab();
          lTestTab.drawGUI();
          lTestTab.setSize(200, 200);
          lTestTab.setVisible(true);

The KeyPressed events for TAB and CTRL-TAB are typically consumed by the KeyboardFocusManager for component traversal. What you have to do is adjust traversal keys and add CTRL-TAB as an action of your JTabbedPane. This is usually done with the InputMap/ActionMap, not a KeyListener:
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
import java.util.*;
import javax.swing.*;
public class X {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        Set tabSet = Collections.singleton(KeyStroke.getKeyStroke(KeyEvent.VK_TAB, 0));
        KeyStroke ctrlTab = KeyStroke.getKeyStroke(KeyEvent.VK_TAB, InputEvent.CTRL_DOWN_MASK);
        final int FORWARD = KeyboardFocusManager.FORWARD_TRAVERSAL_KEYS;
        final JTabbedPane tp = new JTabbedPane();
        //setFocusTraversalKeys to remove ctrl-tab as a forward gesture
        tp.setFocusTraversalKeys(FORWARD, tabSet);
        for (int i=0; i<6; ++i) {
            JPanel p = new JPanel(new GridLayout(0,1));
            JTextArea area = new JTextArea();
            area.setFocusTraversalKeys(FORWARD, Collections.EMPTY_SET);
            p.add(new JScrollPane(area));
            area = new JTextArea();
            area.setFocusTraversalKeys(FORWARD, Collections.EMPTY_SET);
            p.add(new JScrollPane(area));
            tp.addTab("tab " + i,p);
        //add ctrlTab as an action to move to next tab
        Action nextTab = new AbstractAction("nextTab") {
            public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent evt) {
                int idx = tp.getSelectedIndex();
                if (idx != -1) {
                    idx = (idx + 1) % tp.getTabCount();
                    tp.requestFocusInWindow();
                    tp.setSelectedIndex(idx);
        InputMap im = tp.getInputMap(JComponent.WHEN_ANCESTOR_OF_FOCUSED_COMPONENT);
        im.put(ctrlTab, nextTab.getValue(Action.NAME));
        tp.getActionMap().put(nextTab.getValue(Action.NAME), nextTab);
        JFrame f= new JFrame("X");
        f.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);

Catching a KeyEvent from the TAB key...

Well it does not appear to send any KeyEvents to my KeyListener...
any reason for this? and is there any fix to do?
I need a special tab completion feature for my application and need to catch the KeyEvent for the tab key.

It has to do with the focus-model. In this case both, ALT-events and TAB-events are send, but not if they are pressed together. The reason is that when they are pressed together the focus traverses to the next window (on win98 it does).
public static void main(String[] args){
JFrame f = new JFrame("Parent");
KeyboardFocusManager.getCurrentKeyboardFocusManager().addKeyEventDispatcher(createKeyEventDispatcher());
f.setBounds(100,100,400,300);
f.setVisible(true);
public static KeyEventDispatcher createKeyEventDispatcher(){
return new KeyEventDispatcher(){
           public boolean dispatchKeyEvent(KeyEvent e){
            System.out.println("Dispatching: " +e);
            if(e.getKeyCode() == KeyEvent.VK_TAB){
                   //do anything
                   return true; //Don't continue dispatching
                  }else
                   return false; //continue dispatching
}

Since installing LTR 5.4, which I've now upgraded to 5.6, I've encountered repeated slowness and malfunctions in operations, especially when using the Compare View function and the Tab key to open and close the right and left side panels. Such problems never arose during two years of using LTR-4 and nothing else has changed on my computer. I have a pretty simple system with only a few plug-ins, which are usually not in operation. I have 12GB of RAM in my Windows 7 PC. I could illustrate these problems with screen shots if you would tell me how to submit screen shots. Otherwise I will try to describe the problems in words.
The problem is clearly cumulative, growing worse as usage time passes. Compare View feature gradually slows down and eventually seems to choke as my work session proceeds. If I Exit LTR and re-enter and start all over, things will work normally for maybe 30 minutes, but then the Compare View feature begins to become very slow to respond. In a recent example with my screen full of thumbnails in Library mode I highlighted two images to compare. LTR started to open the Compare View screen by first having the top row of thumbnails disappear to be replaced by the "SELECT" and "CANDIDATE" words in their spaces (but no images), but Compare View never succeeded in gaining control of the screen. After some seconds the top row of thumbnails reasserted its position and the Compare View windows disappeared. But LTR kept trying to bring them back. Again the top row of thumbnails would go away, Select and candidate would reappear, try again, and give up. This went on for at least 2-3 minutes before I tried to choose File and Exit, but even that did not initially want to respond. It doesn't like to accept other commands when it's trying to open Compare View. Finally it allowed me to exit.
To experiment I created a new catalog of 1100 images. After 30-40 minutes, the Compare View function began to operate very slowly. With left and right side panels visible and two thumbnails highlighted, hitting Compare View can take half a minute before the two mid-size images open in their respective SELECT and CANDIDATE windows. When the side panels are open and two images are in the Select/Candidate spaces, hitting the Tab button to close the side panels produces a very delayed response--25-30 seconds to close them, a few more seconds to enlarge the two images to full size. To reverse the process (i.e., to recall the two side panels), hitting Tab would make the two sides of the screen go black for up to a minute, with no words visible. Eventually the info fields in the panels would open up.
I also created a new user account and imported a folder of 160 images. After half an hour Compare View began mis-placing data. (I have a screen shot to show this.) CANDIDATE appears on the left side of SELECT, whereas it should be on the right. The accompanying camera exposure data appears almost entirely to the left of the mid-screen dividing line. Although the Candidate and Select headings were transposed, the image exposure data was not, but the data for the image on the right was almost entirely to the left of the line dividing the screen in two.
Gurus in The Lightroom Forum have examined Task Manager data showing Processes running and Performance indicators and they see nothing wrong. I could also send screen shots of this data.
At this point, the only way I can process my images is to work 30-40 minutes and then shut down everything, exit, and re-start LTR. This is not normal. I hope you can find the cause, and then the solution. If you would like to see my screen shots, tell me how to submit them.

Using the tab key in a list and keeping a table format when copying and pas

when I transfer a table from a microsoft word document or PDF file to the pages document, it does not keep the table and only the data inside the table. how do I keep the table?
Also, how do I keep the numbers from indenting when I do a list. for example, if I need to indent part of the sentence for writing specifications of something, I want to use the tab key to move away from the first part of the sentence, but it moves everything and not just my marker.

Not if it decides the list is a list, it can't.
The app never "decide that a list is alist". It does what you ask it to do.
Of course, if you refuse to disable the preference which automatically treats a paragraph as a new list entry I can't help you.
If the datas are stored as a list, the bullets are not part of the datas themselves so they will not be copied.
As I already responded the "Copy" tool doesn't copy attributes.
We have to choose:
we are using lists and the bullets can't be copied
or
we are using text arranged in columns and, if we put bullets, these bullets may be copied.
It's not me which wrote:
+In Textedit, it's very easy:+
+Tab, Bullet, First Column, Tab (or Tab x2 to get everything aligned), Second Column, etc.+
To do the same thing in Pages
Bullet, Tab, First Column, Tab (or Tab x2 to get everything aligned), Second Column, etc.
It's what was displayed in my screenshot and really I don't see what is more complicated.

Why can't I use the tab key to highlight links on a webpage?

In previous versions of FF and in other browsers, I can use the tab key to navigate through all the links on a webpage - I can't seem to do this with FF5, the tab key will only highlight the address bar, search bar, and any form fields within a webpage.
Using the tab key to navigate through links on a page is an accessibility feature, and I often use it to show hidden skip links at the top of a webpage for users who prefer to use the keyboard over a mouse and for assistive technologies.
Is this something that can be turned back on in preferences? Or is there a reason why it was removed from this version?

It can be fixed in Mac OS X Tiger preferences (Keyboard -> "all controls") or try a ctr-F7

How do you navigate dialogue boxes using the tab key in Photoshop CS6 on Mac OS X Mavericks?

I know that seems really 101 and obvious, but I worked in Photoshop on a PC for many years, and using the tab key to navigate through every field/radial button/dropdown menu/etc. was never an issue. On the Mac OS X however, it only navigates through certain fields within a dialogue box. And before the guaranteed suggestion to change my Mac OS X Keyboard preferences to allow full keyboard access to "All Controls" instead of "Text Boxes and Lists Only", I have already tried this setting which did not resolve my issue.
Does/has anyone out there worked between both platforms and had this issue as well? I'm a Mac guy through and through, but I must say, this is the one thing that I think PC has a slight edge on. It's incredibly frustrating to have my keyboard workflow interrupted because I can't simply tab over to a certain field that is in a dialogue box which I'm currently working in...
Here are my details:
Photoshop CS6 (13.0.6)
Mac OS X Mavericks (10.9.1)
Applies to all filetypes as the issue is regarding dialogue boxes and not files themselves.
No error message.
Normal use.
It works on PC, but not on Mac.
2.3 GHz Intel Core i7 Processor
8 GB of memory
719 GB of space available on my main HD
This has never worked in any version of Photoshop I have used on any version of Mac OS X, but has worked consistently on every version of Photoshop that I have used on every version of Windows I've used (up to Windows 7)
I hope this provides enough information to get the ball rolling on this. I fear that there is no answer that will resolve the issue, but before I throw in the towel, I figured it was worth trying this forum since my web searches have turned up absolutely nothing of help.
Thanks in advance for your time and help.
Best,
Tim

Thanks for your input. Since Safe Mac's Adware Removal tool has done a very good job of cleaning out the junk and
letting me run better, I'm happy for now.
However, I appreciate your judgement and I am working on evaluating Safari vs FireFox vs Chrome. I've had some trouble using FireFox with
LastPass which works very well under Chrome. But that is only one data point. Most of my Ram troub;e os related to the number of windows
and tabs I open. I've tried comparing the three browsers for how back each reacts.
I multiply windows and tabs because as I surf the web, I discover things I want and don't want to lose them. However, I need a tool more useful
and structured than bookmarks to be able to record things of interest to make them easy to return to and find later.
