    Methods in java.awt with parameters of type KeyEvent
    Modifier and Type | Method | Description
    --- | --- | ---
    `boolean` | DefaultKeyboardFocusManager.`dispatchKeyEvent​(KeyEvent e)` | Called by `dispatchEvent` if no other KeyEventDispatcher in the dispatcher chain dispatched the KeyEvent, or if no other KeyEventDispatchers are registered.
    `abstract boolean` | KeyboardFocusManager.`dispatchKeyEvent​(KeyEvent e)` | Typically this method will be called by `dispatchEvent` if no other KeyEventDispatcher in the dispatcher chain dispatched the KeyEvent, or if no other KeyEventDispatchers are registered.
    `boolean` | KeyEventDispatcher.`dispatchKeyEvent​(KeyEvent e)` | This method is called by the current KeyboardFocusManager requesting that this KeyEventDispatcher dispatch the specified event on its behalf.
    `static AWTKeyStroke` | AWTKeyStroke.`getAWTKeyStrokeForEvent​(KeyEvent anEvent)` | Returns an `AWTKeyStroke` which represents the stroke which generated a given `KeyEvent`.
    `void` | AWTEventMulticaster.`keyPressed​(KeyEvent e)` | Handles the keyPressed event by invoking the keyPressed methods on listener-a and listener-b.
    `void` | AWTEventMulticaster.`keyReleased​(KeyEvent e)` | Handles the keyReleased event by invoking the keyReleased methods on listener-a and listener-b.
    `void` | AWTEventMulticaster.`keyTyped​(KeyEvent e)` | Handles the keyTyped event by invoking the keyTyped methods on listener-a and listener-b.
    `boolean` | DefaultKeyboardFocusManager.`postProcessKeyEvent​(KeyEvent e)` | This method will be called by `dispatchKeyEvent`.
    `abstract boolean` | KeyboardFocusManager.`postProcessKeyEvent​(KeyEvent e)` | This method will be called by `dispatchKeyEvent`.
    `boolean` | KeyEventPostProcessor.`postProcessKeyEvent​(KeyEvent e)` | This method is called by the current KeyboardFocusManager, requesting that this KeyEventPostProcessor perform any necessary post-processing which should be part of the KeyEvent's final resolution.
    `protected void` | Component.`processKeyEvent​(KeyEvent e)` | Processes key events occurring on this component by dispatching them to any registered `KeyListener` objects.
    `void` | DefaultKeyboardFocusManager.`processKeyEvent​(Component focusedComponent, KeyEvent e)` | This method initiates a focus traversal operation if and only if the KeyEvent represents a focus traversal key for the specified focusedComponent.
    `abstract void` | KeyboardFocusManager.`processKeyEvent​(Component focusedComponent, KeyEvent e)` | This method initiates a focus traversal operation if and only if the KeyEvent represents a focus traversal key for the specified focusedComponent.
