Class InputHandler

  • Direct Known Subclasses:
    DefaultInputHandler

    public abstract class InputHandler
    extends AbstractInputHandler<EditAction>
    An input handler converts the user's key strokes into concrete actions. It also takes care of macro recording and action repetition.

    This class provides all the necessary support code for an input handler, but doesn't actually do any key binding logic. It is up to the implementations of this class to do so.

      • processKeyEvent

        public void processKeyEvent​(java.awt.event.KeyEvent evt,
                                    int from,
                                    boolean global)
        Forwards key events directly to the input handler. This is slightly faster than using a KeyListener because some Swing overhead is avoided.
        Specified by:
        processKeyEvent in class AbstractInputHandler<EditAction>
        Parameters:
        evt - the keyboard event
        from - the source, it can be View.VIEW, View.ACTION_BAR or View.TEXT_AREA
        global - tell if the event comes from the DefaultKeyboardFocusManager or not
