How do you make key binding for a JFrame no matter what JComponent is in focus?

Question

How do we make key bindings for a JFrame regardless of what\'s in focus in the frame?

I already looked at this question: How do you make key bindings for a java.awt.

Answer 1

You could try using JComponent#getInputMap(JComponent.WHEN_IN_FOCUSED_WINDOW)

From the Java Docs

Constant used for registerKeyboardAction that means that the command should be invoked when the receiving component is in the window that has the focus or is itself the focused component.
