Escape key in jtable while editing

I am trying to unregister the escape key from the jtable when it is in an editing mode. The field in an editable mode is a JTextField. I tried:
this.getInputMap().remove(KeyStroke.getKeyStroke(KeyEvent.VK_ESCAPE, 0));I also tried removing it from the JTextField in MyCellEditorObject (which extends DefaultCellEditor)
But the escape key does not seem to be in either of these components when I do:
KeyStroke[] ks = this.getInputMap().allKeys();
if(null == ks)
 System.out.println("null ks........................");
else
 for (int i = 0; i < ks.length; i++)
 System.out.println(ks.toString());
Once I get this figured out I need to add and remove other keys to whatever object is handling the events.
Does anyone know what object is handling the escape key in the JTable while it is in an editing state using a JTextField?

Well, for others who may have the same problem this is what I found so far:
The jtable.getInputMap() will always return null (hardcoded in BasicTableUI). To get the input map one has to put:
jtable.getInputMap(JComponent.WHEN_ANCESTOR_OF_FOCUSED_COMPONENT)
Then
KeyStroke[] ks = this.getInputMap(JComponent.WHEN_ANCESTOR_OF_FOCUSED_COMPONENT).allKeys();
returns keys in the input map and the parent input map....(.keys() will exclude the keys in the parent input map).
For the JTable all the keys are registered in the parent inputMap.
m_table.getInputMap(JComponent.WHEN_ANCESTOR_OF_FOCUSED_COMPONENT).getParent().remove(KeyStroke.getKeyStroke(KeyEvent.VK_ALPHANUMERIC, 0));
m_tablegetInputMap(JComponent.WHEN_ANCESTOR_OF_FOCUSED_COMPONENT).getParent().remove(KeyStroke.getKeyStroke(KeyEvent.VK_ESCAPE, 0, false));
m_table.getInputMap(JComponent.WHEN_ANCESTOR_OF_FOCUSED_COMPONENT).getParent().put(KeyStroke.getKeyStroke(KeyEvent.VK_ESCAPE, 0, true), "quitRelease");
m_table.getInputMap(JComponent.WHEN_ANCESTOR_OF_FOCUSED_COMPONENT).getParent().put(KeyStroke.getKeyStroke(KeyEvent.VK_F9, 0), "actionMApKeyObject");
m_table.getActionMap().put("quitRelease", new QuitAction());
m_table.getActionMap().put("send", new SendAction());
private class QuitAction extends AbstractAction
    public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent ae)
       //do quit cellediting stopped? yes then press quit btn no thenstop ...
private class SendAction extends AbstractAction
    public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent ae)
       //do send
}I still would like to know more about the input maps...and the parent input map???
As well as the ActionMaps all introduced in 1.3.
Does anyone know of any URLs or books that contain good explanations and samples
(I have not found any)...
I am also interested in how this could be applied more globally
like the enter key pressing all buttons in my application.
Or having text fields respond to keyReleased rather than pressed.

How to detect if user clicks on another cell in a JTable while editing?

I use a custom TableModel which extends AbstractTableModel and I serialize the TableModel to save the data in a file. Sometimes when I try to serialize, my program crashes after putting in random data in to the table. I have reduced the problem down to if a user is editing a field and clicks on another cell instead of hitting "enter", then then program will crash if that was the last action when trying to save.
I am thinking it might be something with the custom TableModel class, like I am missing a method or something. I have getColumnName, getColumnCount, getValueAt, setValueAt, isCellEditable
Thanks

Clicking on another cell should not cause a problem as this will stop editing in the previous cell. However if you click on your save button directly then the editor is still being used. Use the following after creating your table:
table.putClientProperty("terminateEditOnFocusLost", Boolean.TRUE);

Default behaviour of the Escape key while editing a cell in JTable??

Hi all,
i have a Jtable which get its data from an own model object which extends DefaultTableModel.
If i overwrite the isCellEditable(row, col) method within the tablemodel object and set a specific column to editable, then i notice while editing a cell in that column that the default behaviour of the Escape key is that independet from what you have entered before in to the cell the editing stops and the cell gets the value it had before editing.
This is the case for me even if i apply a custom editor to a column (one that extends DefaultCellEditor). It is just a JTextField that limits the number of digits a user can enter. Everything works fine. If the user edits the cell and presses ENTER or the "down arrow key" i can check what he has entered with the help of the getCellEditorValue() method. But if the user hits the ESC key after editing a cell this method is not invoked!!!
My question is :
is there any way to detect that the user cancels editing with the ESC-key.
this is very important for me because if the user goes editing the cell i lock the related record in the database, if i cannot detect this it is locked till the application terminates.
Thanks for any help in advance

I try override the JTable editingCanceled() ==> does not work.
I try the addCellEditorListener( CellEditorListener l ) ==> does not work.
Finally, I try the addKeyListener ==> it works.
Here is a quick demo. program:
import javax.swing.*;
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
import javax.swing.event.*;
import javax.swing.table.*;
public class Test {
public static void main(String[] args){
JFrame f = new JFrame();
String[] colName = {"a", "b"};
String[][] rowData = {{"1", "2"}, {"3", "4"}};
JTable table = new JTable(rowData, colName);
JTextField t = new JTextField(10);
t.setBackground(Color.red);
t.addKeyListener(new KeyAdapter() {
public void keyPressed(KeyEvent e) {
if (e.getKeyCode() == KeyEvent.VK_ESCAPE) {
// do what ever you want ex. un-lock table
System.out.println("ESCAPE");
DefaultCellEditor editor = new DefaultCellEditor(t);
TableColumnModel colModel = table.getColumnModel();
for (int i = colModel.getColumnCount()-1; i >= 0; i--) {
colModel.getColumn(i).setCellEditor(editor);
f.setContentPane(new JScrollPane(table));
f.pack();
f.setVisible(true);

I can edit on Premiere Pro 6 files, but after a dozen keystrokes, the space bar and cursor keys stop working while the save function works

I can edit on Premiere Pro 6 files, but after a dozen keystrokes, the space bar and cursor keys stop working while the save function, render workspace function, export file are still operational. How can I fix it so I may complete my assignment?
Besides DaVinci Resolve, Adobe Creative Suite 6 is the only software on the machine. I am using Windows 7 Professional 64-bit Operating System on AMD FX 6100 six-Core Processor at 3.31gHz and 32 GB RAM memory. There are two SLI-bridged GTX680 NVidia cards.
The software was very stable for the last six months, working with 720P proxy files from 2.5K masters (Blackmagic Design Camera). I am working on a feature-length project that exceeds 1000 edits. I have broken the file into 2 one hour segments.
I have deactivated the software before reinstalling the entire OS from scratch. PP6 was very stable for 48 hours. Then the freezing space bar returns. After a dozen strokes into the project, same problem. I have made cache files store next to originals, I have deleted preview files if they were corrupted and causing instability. Am I missing something?
I have Microsoft Security Essentials for virus protection. I double checked the memory for damage/defect. Nothing says that the motherboard or other components are damaged.
I am in film competition overseas and need to have deliverables in less than a month's time. I lost the last two weeks troubleshooting and this crisis came at an inopportune moment of the project.
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Still getting software freezes but found a way to mitigate for the mean time.
Upon launching Adobe Premiere Pro, hit CTRL-ALT-DEL to launch TaskManager as well.
You will want to highlight Adobe QT32 Server.exe
Right click and select "End Process Tree"
You will get considerable stability in the program, long enough to get timing of cuts done. Be sure to save often.
If the program freezes, do not hit Save. You definitely want to avoid saving the corruption into your TimeLine
CTRL-ALT-DEL to relaunch the TaskManager and highlight Adobe Premiere Pro.exe
Right-click to "End Process"
No need to reboot the whole system; just launch Premiere Pro again and continue with the session. Note that your work reverted to Last Save.
Hope this helps until the bug is fixed.

Escape Key Event in JTable

I have a KeyPressed event method in a java file where I am using the F3 and Escape keys. I have a JTable in the java file with values in it. The user can select any row in the table and when you press F3 or Escape key some methods get called up which deselect the chosen rows in the table. This works fine with the F3 key but when I put the exact same code in the Escape key event, nothing happens.
However when the focus goes off the JTable to another componement on the screen, pressing the Escape key now works. I want to have the Escape key working when the focus is on the table. Any suggestion please?

thanks for you response but I am still a bit confused. When I press the Esc key whilst the focus is on the JTable nothing happens but when the focus is off the JTable, all the methods in the Esc event get called and the rows in the table get deselected.
Is there any way of not having the JTable consuming the Esc key so the Esc key will work when focus is on the JTable.
I have a key pressed method registered to the class (not the JTable). Say that my class is called 'xinternetDesktop', my code is this:
public void xinternetDesktop_KeyPressed(java.awt.event.KeyEvent keyEvent) {
int code = keyEvent.getKeyCode();
switch (code) {
case KeyEvent.VK_ESCAPE : /*Escape key*/
resetListSelectionBidsAndOffers();
break;
case KeyEvent.VK_F3 : /*F3*/
resetListSelectionBidsAndOffers();
break;
Could u give any suggestion please.
Thank you

Using key commands while editing text...?

I love key commands. They help get things done sooo much faster...UNLESS I'm in the middle of editing text with the type tool and I want to, say, change to the arrow/selection tool. I can't just hit "A" or "V", since it will just add this to my text.
To all you folks out there who are like me and love key commands, isn't there some way to get around this? Either a key command that can be used while editing text, or a key command for "exit type mode"?
I'd welcome any thoughts on the subject. Thanks!

I did try to add a Control modifier, but it seems that tool shortcuts don't allow you to use Control or Alt or function keys.
Thanks for the Esc suggestion. That's just what I was looking for--something simple that I had overlooked!
Thanks, Scott!

My Escape key is not working

Hi,
I am Meena.
I am doing a project using NetBeans and MS-Access.
When I run my project a internal framed named login loaded on the jdesktoppane which in JFrame.
So in the login internal frame i used two buttons one for Sign-in and another for sign out.
So I combined the Sign-in button with Enter key and Sign-out button with Escape key by the following coding.
I wrote the following coding in LoginInternalFrame->properties->enabled->advanced->Generate PreIntialization Code.
Action EscFromLogin=new AbstractAction()
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e)
    jButton2.doClick();
Action OkFromLogin=new AbstractAction()
    public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e)
       jButton1.doClick();
getRootPane().getInputMap(jButton2.WHEN_IN_FOCUSED_WINDOW).put(KeyStroke.getKeyStroke(KeyEvent.VK_ESCAPE,0,false),"Esc_in_Login");
getRootPane().getActionMap().put("Esc_in_Login",EscFromLogin);
getRootPane().getInputMap(jButton1.WHEN_IN_FOCUSED_WINDOW).put(KeyStroke.getKeyStroke(KeyEvent.VK_ENTER,0,false),"Ok_in_Login");
getRootPane().getActionMap().put("Ok_in_Login",OkFromLogin);In the above coding Enter key works well no problem.that is when I press the Enter key ,it combined with Sign-in button and works well.
But when I press Escape key,it doesnot combined with Sign-off button.
that is nothing is happening when I press Esc key.
So i change the Escape key and test with F1 then F2 then F3 all are combined with Sign-off button and works well.But only the escape key is not working.
But I have so many internal frames .In all internalframes my esc key works well.But not in the first inter frame(login internalframe)
I couldnot understand the reason.
Will you please help me to solve.
Thank you so much.
Meena

mmm, i'm doing some tests and the case is working for me... The reason F1,F2 keys works while ESC don't is that some component is "eating" the ESC key. Probably your password textField, but it is not its default behaviour. For example, try to replace the textField with a FormattedTextField, write something into it and press ESC, this first ESC is consumed by the FormattedTextField, if you press ESC a second time the FormattedTextField not consume it, so the ESC keystroke processing is given to the rest of the componentes until one of they consume it (basically). So, how can you solve th problem? Try to determine which component is the "escape-eater". Once you detected it try to determine which properties are set and if this properties can alter the keyboard mapping. The problem can be difficult to repeat for us because the look and feel, java version, etc. can affect the system behaviour too. A global hook to ESC can also be the reason (maybe esc key it's not reaching ths components), try to override ProcessKeyBindings and log the results....

When I hit the escape key to close out the open file dialog box, firefox hangs or crashes.

When I open the "open file" dialog box using the ctrl+O and then hit the escape key to exit the box, I get an error message which I'm not able to paste here.
it says something about a runtime problem and if I try the same thing again to reproduce the problem, it will sometimes just hang and windows vista will tell me the program is not responding.
I've checked to see if there are any crash IDs but none were found for this time frame.
I have even disabled all add ons.
I'm currently using vista 64 bit edition and Firefox 6, beta edition.

Hi,
Please also try right-clicking on the link corresponding to the language version and '''Save Target As''' to save the Firefox installer. If the problem persists, posting [http://answers.microsoft.com/ here] would also be helpful.

Using the Escape key in simulations and assessments

I have recently recorded a simulation/assessment that needs to use the Escape key to close a pop-up window and returns to the main application window. The recording has not been an issue; however, using Escape with failure messages is proving to be tricky. Here's what I have discovered while resording my sim/assess, along with my questions:
When I press Escape, Captivate captures this keystroke as a shortcut attached to a Click Box. This works on the assessment side, but fails to produce a failure message on the assessment side when the user does not press the Escape key.
I need to produce a failure message when the user does not press Escape.
Can I storethe unicode value of Escape in a TEB variable and then use an if . . . else statement to either advance to the next slide (success action) or produce a caption that mimics a failure caption? If so, how would I write this item?
Could I use a Loss of focus trigger instead?
Does Captivate have a variable that records a unicode value (Something like CPKeyPressedValue"?
Are there any other alternatives?

In the case of buttons and clickbox objects, where clicking is allowed, the failure is normally registered when the user CLICKS OUTSIDE the button or click box. The evaluation of Success/Fail happens on the click.
In the case of a Text Entry Box, the interactivity is all about what the user enters into the text field and whether or not it is correct/incorrect when compared to approved answer text. The main purpose of the TEB object is not centered on the clicking of the button that accompanies the text field. The button just provides a way to trigger the Success/Failure evaluation of the user interaction with the text field.
Since you have deselected Allow Mouse Click for your click box, you've effectively made it mandatory to use keystrokes to trigger the Success/Failure evaluation of the object. So clicking outside the box is no longer going to do anything because Allow Mouse Click is off. You'll get a failure message on this click box now for many (but not all) keystrokes that are not the one assigned.
By the way, using the Escape key as a keystroke if you Preview the project in Captivate just shuts down the preview (as you've probably already found out).

Escape Key Not Working

Hi Gang
Was surprised to see the escape key can no longer end/stop a capture. I have to manually stop the camera and wait a second for FC to say 'reached end of edit/tape'. I poked around in system Prefs and FC Keyboard Functions - couldn't find anything?
Umm?

Hi James
Actually I spoke too soon ....
The problem returned.
I cleared the keyboard commands - reset them - escape performed ok the 1st time, but then the problem returned again

Escape key no longer functioning to back out of photos in Event view

In iPhoto '09, when you drilled down to view a photo in Event view, you used to be able to use the Escape key to step back a level. With iPhoto '11, I have been unable to do this. Is there a setting I'm missing or something?

I just figured out a great solution to this problem! The goal here is to remap the Escape key in iPhoto so that it functions like the Command-Left-Arrow, which currently has all the functions we wish Escape had. The instruction are fairly simple:
Install KeyRemap4MacBook. It's a wonderful program that lets you take control of your keyboard. It's stable and powerful and quick and free.
Follow these instructions which tell you how to add your own custom settings. (Skip steps 4 through 6, which just give you some example settings to add.)
Edit private.xml so that it looks like the following (or at least contains the following "item", if you have other custom settings installed):
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<root>
<item>
 <name>Escape to Command Left Arrow</name>
 <identifier>private.app_iphoto_escape_to_command_left_arrow</identifier>
 <only>IPHOTO</only>
 <autogen>--KeyToKey-- KeyCode::ESCAPE, KeyCode::CURSOR_LEFT, ModifierFlag::COMMAND_R</autogen>
</item>
</root>
Finally, save private.xml, then click "ReloadXML" under the "Change Key" tab of the KeyRemap4MacBook preferance pane. Your new setting should appear at the top of the list. Enable it. Restart iPhoto if you feel like it (you probably won't need to). And now, in iPhoto, Escape should work as you want it to!
NOTE: There is one downside I've discovered. You won't be able to get out of Slideshow mode using the Escape key anymore, as this was the one case where Escape originally functioned sensibly. Rather, you'll have to use your mouse to click the X button to escape. But Slideshow mode is terrible anyway. Just use full screen mode instead.

Escape key not recognized

greetings.
i just recently switched over to a new computer at work and using another designer's workstation w/ cs3. for some reason unknown to me, the "ESC" (escape) key will not work for me when trying to deactivate a text box.
i looked under the keyboard shortcuts menu and found where to input this shortcut (keybord shortcuts/product area: tools/selection tool (highlighted) ...and see the current shortcuts set at "default: v" and "text: escape" so i know it's there.
however, when i try to input a new shortcut and hit the escape key, it's not being recognized at all. same thing happens when trying to set the escape key for any other shortcut.
i'm experiencing the same issue in illustrator, as well.
any thoughts are greatly appreciated.

The weird thing is that it can only be reproduced by opening Ps (with or without a file) while CCC.exe is running (AMD VISION Engine Control Center).
So one would be inclined to blame Ps.

Escape key not working properly?

Hello,
I'm working on a Mac Pro at work and I've encountered an odd issue with the escape key. It doesn't work as I'd expect it to....i.e. when I have a full-screen Quicktime movie or DVD Player open, it doesn't shrink the window as all my other Macs do. Also, when I'm in Final Cut, if I'm using Capture Now to capture a tape, escape doesn't cancel out of it as one would expect. Instead, it appears that pressing Cmd + Esc or Shift + Esc will cancel the Capture. Also, CmdOptEsc works to Force Quit out of programs so I know the key itself is working, just not as I'd expect it to. Any suggestions? Thanks.

I cleared the keyboard commands - reset them - escape performed ok the 1st time, but then the problem returned again.
Does it repeat that each time you do it?

JSF: How to bind a CommandButton functionaity to an ENTER or ESCAPE key?

Hello!
I use a JSF in my application. There are a lot of JSF Create - , Edit - and Delete - pages. All of this pages have to Command buttons:
OK - which performs the action
Cancel - which cancels the action.
So, the problem is that it's necessary to bind an OK button action to an ENTER key and a Cancel button action to an ESCAPE key. The AccessKey property doesn't suite for this case, because it allows to work with literal keys only.
Could anybody help me to solve a problem?
Thanks in advance.

For the ENTER key, you can define the property defaultCommand in the component af:form. 
See "<a href="http://blogs.oracle.com/Didier/newsItems/departments/faces/2006/07/24#a102">ADF Faces: Submit a form with the Enter key</a>" for more details. 
 
Not sure about the ESCAPE key. 
 
Regards,
