KeyCode problem in JSplitPane

Question

Hi,
I have a little problem with my swing application. My aplication is like this:
A JFrame witch contains a JPanel witch contains a JSplitPane witch contains one left and one right element witch are both a JPanel with a JList with more elements in it. I used ActionMap and InputMap classes of the split to implement a TAB key action. The action was to give focus to one list at a time when the TAB key was pressed. That's fine so far, but when i tried to implement an action for the F76 key i got into problems. I used the same ActionMap-InputMap pair, but the listener isn't called, but instead it does exactly what the TAB key does:switching focus. I've noticed that there was exactly this action defined for that input map for F6. So i deleted it , but this strange thing still ocuurs. How can i force my application to do what i want on F6 and not what it wants? I don't know if this helps but: i'm using a RedHat 7.2 system (with the latest upgrades), and i didn't tested my application on other system, or other jdk than the one i'm curently using:1.3.1_01 .
Please help.
Thanks.

I used the following code
private void initMater() {
try {
UIManager.setLookAndFeel(UIManager.getSystemLookAndFeelClassName());
catch(Exception e) {}
// after the look and feel is installed we override .....
Object obj = new UIDefaults.LazyInputMap(new Object[] {
          "UP", "negativeIncrement",
          "DOWN", "positiveIncrement",
          "LEFT", "negativeIncrement",
          "RIGHT", "positiveIncrement",
          "KP_UP", "negativeIncrement",
          "KP_DOWN", "positiveIncrement",
          "KP_LEFT", "negativeIncrement",
          "KP_RIGHT", "positiveIncrement",
          "HOME", "selectMin",
          "END", "selectMax"
          // "F8", "startResize", NO !
          // "F6", "toggleFocus" NO !
UIManager.put("SplitPane.ancestorInputMap",obj);
