Per accessibility requirements, Shift+F10 is supposed to open right-click context menus.
In Swing, one approach is to just add the key binding to every component you make. However, I've experimented with extending the EventQueue to handle all Shift+F10 presses. In particular, I've overridden dispatchEvent(AWTEvent) to convert Shift+F10 KeyEvents into right-click mousePresses:
protected void dispatchEvent(AWTEvent event) {
if (event instanceof KeyEvent) {
KeyEvent ev = (KeyEvent) event;
if ((ev.getKeyCode() == KeyEvent.VK_F10) &&
(ev.getModifiersEx() & InputEvent.SHIFT_DOWN_MASK) > 0) {
KeyboardFocusManager kfm = KeyboardFocusManager.getCurrentKeyboardFocusManager();
Component comp = kfm.getFocusOwner();
Point mouse = MouseInfo.getPointerInfo().getLocation();
SwingUtilities.convertPointFromScreen(mouse, comp);
eventToDispatch = new MouseEvent(comp,
MouseEvent.MOUSE_RELEASED, ev.getWhen(), 0, mouse.x, mouse.y,
1, true);
}
}
}
However, this prevents Shift+F10 from being able to close any JPopupMenus that get launched. Any idea if this solution is workable, or are there better ways to accomplish meeting this requirement?
