If you are writing your own JComponent subclass and want to allow for custom UI delegates, I'd start with Kirill Grouchnikov's How to Write a Custom Swing Component.

If you are writing a composite that includes an existing JComponent subclass, such as JTextField, see if you can leverage the existing Action instances described in How to Use Key Bindings. ScrollAction is an example. You can learn the names of such actions from the component's source(s) or using @camickr's handy utility seen in the article Key Bindings.
