I wrote an applet with a panel containing lots of components (panels,
buttons...) and I want the whole panel (or the whole applet) to respond
when the enter-key is pressed. I've tried 

class myApplet xtends Applet implements KeyListener {
...
public void keyPressed (KeyEvent e) {
	respond ();
}
...
}

but it won't work. I also tried to add an keyListener to the panel (and
the applet) with

panel1.addKeyListener (new KeyAdapter() {
        public void keyPressed (KeyEvent e) {
          System.out.println ("Knapp tryckt.");
        }
      });

with no positive effect... Do I have to add keyListeners to every single
component in my panel (>40 of them>, since it seems like only the one
with focus can respond, or how would I solve it?
