CTRL + UP event

[andrewbrook]

Hi,

Our code uses accelerators to capture CTRL+UP, CTRL+DOWN, etc...
Works fine, but when a JIDE component is selected/active the CTRL+UP operation is no longer called. All other directions work (DOWN, LEFT, RIGHT,...).
Is there any reason why JIDE might override the behavior of this keyboard event?

May I ask which JIDE component you have issue with and how you set the accelarators for CTRL+UP?

Thanks,

Docking Framework (in particular the DockableFrame being active seems to cause the behaviour)

We set accelerators exactly the same for all directions:

Code: Select all

setAccelerator(javax.swing.KeyStroke.getKeyStroke(java.awt.event.KeyEvent.VK_UP, java.awt.event.InputEvent.CTRL_MASK));

CTRl-UP and CTRL-DOWN are used by many JComponents (such as JTextArea, JList, ...) so it may not be a good idea to use these two keystrokes. In your particular case, JideTabbedPane's InputMap uses this two keystrokes. We didn't invent this. We follow JTabbedPane which uses the keys. The code below is from BasicLookAndFeel.java. In our code, we have the same keys for "JideTabbedPane.focusInputMap" and "JideTabbedPane.ancestorInputMap". So the only way to workaround this if you have to use these two keystrokes is to override the input map defined in the UIManager.

Code: Select all

       "TabbedPane.focusInputMap",
         new UIDefaults.LazyInputMap(new Object[] {
               "RIGHT", "navigateRight",
                 "KP_RIGHT", "navigateRight",
                     "LEFT", "navigateLeft",
                  "KP_LEFT", "navigateLeft",
                       "UP", "navigateUp",
                    "KP_UP", "navigateUp",
                     "DOWN", "navigateDown",
                  "KP_DOWN", "navigateDown",
                "ctrl DOWN", "requestFocusForVisibleComponent",
             "ctrl KP_DOWN", "requestFocusForVisibleComponent",
      }),
       "TabbedPane.ancestorInputMap",
          new UIDefaults.LazyInputMap(new Object[] {
         "ctrl PAGE_DOWN", "navigatePageDown",
                "ctrl PAGE_UP", "navigatePageUp",
                     "ctrl UP", "requestFocus",
                  "ctrl KP_UP", "requestFocus",
       }),


Thanks,
