KeyAdapter can't recieve Tab presses

Newbie & Debugging Questions
#1

I have my class extending KeyAdapter and with the keyPressed method I can recieve clicks for all keys on my keyboard except for the Tab key, and yes, my Tab key actually works. I want this key, why can’t I get it?

#2

Tab is a special key - it’s for switching the focus around… therefore you have to handle it seperately.

implement KeyEventPostProcessor

KeyboardFocusManager.getCurrentKeyboardFocusManager().addKeyEventPostProcessor();


public boolean postProcessKeyEvent(KeyEvent e)
{
      System.out.println("<-p"); //this one catches tab
      return true;
}

Thanks that worked fine!
