Hi,

I have a few JTables in a Window which must act as one whole. So no matter
which one has the "focus", I must react to navigation keys and adjust the
views of the JScrollPanes.

By using getRootPane().registerKey.....(KeyStroke.getKey....(VK_F1) ....
this all works fine. But note that I use the F1 function key here to drive
the
action. When I use the VK_LEFT or VK_ESCAPE key the keystroke
never reaches my code. I assume the the JTable/JScollPane which by chance
has the focus intercepts it.

How kan I prevent all the JTables/JScrollPanes from reacting to any key
events?

best regards,
Peter

focus intercepts it
