Doubts on KeyCode

[Tom Schindl]

hi,

suppose you have the following code:

> package application;
> 
> import javafx.application.Application;
> import javafx.scene.Scene;
> import javafx.scene.control.TextField;
> import javafx.scene.layout.BorderPane;
> import javafx.stage.Stage;
> 
> public class Main extends Application {
> 	@Override
> 	public void start(Stage primaryStage) {
> 		try {
> 			BorderPane root = new BorderPane();
> 			Scene scene = new Scene(root, 400, 400);
> 			
> 			TextField f = new TextField();
> 			f.setOnKeyReleased( e -> {
> 				System.err.println(e.getCode());
> 			});
> 			root.setCenter(f);
> 			
> 			primaryStage.setScene(scene);
> 			primaryStage.show();
> 		} catch (Exception e) {
> 			e.printStackTrace();
> 		}
> 	}
> 	
> 	public static void main(String[] args) {
> 		launch(args);
> 	}
> }

For default ASCII-Chars like a, b, c, ... I get the correct KeyCode but
e.g. for +, -, ... the information is totally bogus. Please note I get
the correct keyCode when pressing the NumPad char but e.g. CLOSE_BRACKET
when pressing "+" on my keyboard.

If I'm not completely mistaken the KeyCode defintion for the current +
is the one for the keypad "+" and the one for the ordinary + is missing?

This means that the definition:

PLUS(0x0209, "Plus")

has to be

PLUS(0x0209, "Plus", KeyCodeClass.KEYPAD)

What I can not explain is why the keyboard "+" (ascii-code 43) maps to
"]" (ascii-code 93) from a native-keyevent to KeyCode happens in
Glass-Layer.
