Class KeyStrokeConverter

public static Object conv(Class type,
                          Attribute attr,
                          Localizer localizer)

Converts a String into an KeyStroke. Parses a string and returns a KeyStroke. The string must have the following syntax:

    <modifiers>* (<typedID> | <pressedReleasedID>)

    modifiers := shift | control | ctrl | meta | alt | button1 | button2 | button3
    typedID := typed <typedKey>
    typedKey := string of length 1 giving Unicode character.
    pressedReleasedID := (pressed | released) key
    key := KeyEvent key code name, i.e. the name following "VK_".
 

If typed, pressed or released is not specified, pressed is assumed. Here are some examples:

     "INSERT" => getKeyStroke(KeyEvent.VK_INSERT, 0);
     "control DELETE" => getKeyStroke(KeyEvent.VK_DELETE, InputEvent.CTRL_MASK);
     "alt shift X" => getKeyStroke(KeyEvent.VK_X, InputEvent.ALT_MASK | InputEvent.SHIFT_MASK);
     "alt shift released X" => getKeyStroke(KeyEvent.VK_X, InputEvent.ALT_MASK | InputEvent.SHIFT_MASK, true);
     "typed a" => getKeyStroke('a');
 

In order to maintain backward-compatibility, specifying a null String, or a String which is formatted incorrectly, returns null.

Parameters:

type - Class not used

attr - Attribute attribute provides the value to be converted

localizer - Localizer allow the use of resource lookups

Returns:

Object - a KeyStroke object for that String, or null if the specified String is null, or is formatted incorrectly

                      Attribute attr,
