KeyEvent while Mouse moved

Question

Have a problem at the moment with key events and mouse drag.
We have overriden the defaultKeyboardFocusManager, to include one new method, below if ot helps....
@Override
public boolean dispatchKeyEvent(KeyEvent e) {
if (e.getKeyCode() == KeyEvent.VK_S) {
if (e.getID() == KeyEvent.KEY_PRESSED) {
sKeyDown = true;
} else if (e.getID() == KeyEvent.KEY_RELEASED) {
sKeyDown = false;
return super.dispatchKeyEvent(e);
So User action is to hold down S key, left click mouse and drag. If S key release while drag in progress key event isn't recognised. Once the is mouse released and the drop completed the application still believes the S key pressed?
Should the key events still be registered while a drag is in operation???
Cheers, JK.

Answer 1

Two problems arrise to my head:
First, in a Windows environment (I don't no for other OS) when you press a character key (or space bar) for one second it begins to repeatively press the button to make a series of characters. In that case, the key listener will receive a KEY_PRESSED and KEY_RELEASED (and KEY_TYPED) for each letter, so if you hold down the S key while dragging, the KeyListener you are using will receive a KEY_RELEASED Event befor the user actually released the key, which is a problem that I don't know how to solve, sorry. Well, you can go in the control panel and change the options about this feature for your computer, but you don't know what will be the settings in the computer of the other users.
The second Problem is that it is very important that the component you will be clicking on is the key listener because if not, clicking will make your listener to lose focus while the key is pressed and the KEY_RELEASED event won't be dispatched to your listener. But maybe your overridding of the dispatchKeyEvent solves this, but I'm not sure.
Anyway I hope this helps (even if I doubt it)
