<div>Subject how to get find out the keyboard shortcut for the paste action?</div></div><div><br /></div>
<div id="xc63ee9ebb21948e" style="word-wrap:break-word"><blockquote cite="CH3PR12MB76198C4F8B2300D806EDCCF0F9452@CH3PR12MB7619.namprd12.prod.outlook.com" type="cite" class="cite2">

<p class="MsoNormal">Some swing components such as text fields have built in support for copy and paste.<o:p xmlns:o="#unknown"></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">But if you want to add such support for a component that doesn’t, then one of the things you might want to do is support standard keyboard shortcuts.<o:p xmlns:o="#unknown"></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Luckily, there’s a tutorial for doing this kind of thing, let’s see how they do it:<o:p xmlns:o="#unknown"></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><a href="https://docs.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/uiswing/dnd/listpaste.html">https://docs.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/uiswing/dnd/listpaste.html</a><o:p xmlns:o="#unknown"></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Uh oh…<o:p xmlns:o="#unknown"></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">getKeyStroke("ctrl V")<o:p xmlns:o="#unknown"></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The tutorial simply hardcodes the relevant shortcuts.<o:p xmlns:o="#unknown"></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I suspect that this works fine on windows, and will lead Mac users to grumble.<o:p xmlns:o="#unknown"></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Is there a way to ask Java would the right keyboard shortcut should be?<o:p xmlns:o="#unknown"></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I suppose one could always create a scratch text field just to look through its input map, but seems a bit hacky.<o:p xmlns:o="#unknown"></o:p></p>
