Is there a problem with copy paste using Ctrl+insert and Shift+insert

Question

This is a swing application.
initially i was using java 1.3 and the copy paste using Ctrl+insert and Shift+insert was working
then i migrated the same to java 1.5 and this functionality got messed up.

Answer 1

Include the following in your initialization code, before you create any components:     InputMap im = (InputMap)UIDefaults.get("TextField.focusInputMap");
    im.put(KeyStroke.getKeyStroke("control INSERT"), DefaultEditorKit.copyAction);
    im.put(KeyStroke.getKeyStroke("shift INSERT"), DefaultEditorKit.pasteAction);
    im.put(KeyStroke.getKeyStroke("shift DELETE"), DefaultEditorKit.cutAction); You'll need to add the appropriate imports, too: import javax.swing.InputMap;
import javax.swing.KeyStroke;
import javax.swing.UIDefaults;
import javax.swing.text.DefaultEditorKit; It seems they accidentally removed those bindings from JTextField under MetalLookAndFeel in JDK 1.5. They've been restored in JDK 1.6.
