Override "crtl + tab" key behaviour with "tab" key for JtextArea .

Question

I am trying to override the "crtl + tab" key behaviour for JTextArea with "tab" key plus add my own action. I am doing the following.
1. Setting Tab as forward traversal key for the JTextArea (the default traversal key from JTexArea is "crtl + Tab").
2. Supplementing the "crtl + Tab" key behaviour with my custom behaviour.
For the point 2 above, I need to get hold of the Action represented by the "crtl + Tab" key so that I could use that and then follow with my own custom action. But the problem is that there is no InputMap entry for "crtl + tab". I dont know how the "crtl + tab" key Action is mapped for JTextArea. I used the following code to search the InputMap.
            System.out.println("Searching Input Map");
            for (int i = 0; i < 3; i++) {
                InputMap iMap = comp.getInputMap(i);
                if (iMap != null) {
                    KeyStroke [] ks = iMap.allKeys();
                    if (ks  != null) {
                        for (int j = 0;j < ks.length ;j++) {
                            System.out.println("Key Stroke: " + ks[j]);
            System.out.println("Searching Parent Input Map");
            for (int i = 0; i < 3; i++) {
                InputMap iMap = comp.getInputMap(i).getParent();
                if (iMap != null) {
                    KeyStroke [] ks = iMap.allKeys();
                    if (ks  != null) {
                        for (int j = 0;j < ks.length ;j++) {
                            System.out.println("Key Stroke: " + ks[j]);
            }In short, I need to get the Action associated with the "crtl + tab" for JTextArea.

Answer 1

There is no Action for Ctrl+TAB. Its a focus traversal key.
