Description

Name: ssT124754			Date: 03/26/2001


java version "1.3.0_01"
Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.3.0_01)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.3.0_01, mixed mode)

Please support the windows keyboard's right click button so that people do not
have to use the mouse too much.

On windows keyboard ,a shortcut key for rightclick exists.Pressing this button will get a right click menu of the focussed window.This key does not have any mapping in java.The request is to define  a keycode for this so that it can be tracked by programs to show the rightclick menu in GUIs.

WORK AROUND Name: ssT124754 Date: 03/26/2001 The VK_UNDEFINED is not working when I register it as a ActionMap... The key code is not forwarded to me so it is difficult to decipher which key was pressed. ======================================================================

EVALUATION This bug is rather vague as to what the submitter is after. I've emailed them asking for more details. scott.violet@eng 2001-03-26 Added more information in the description. shaheen.sultana@Eng 2001-04-09 As submitter is requesting a binding for this key, I'm reassigning to AWT. scott.violet@eng 2001-07-10 I believe this is the same request as 4290799. See 4352104 for details. eric.hawkes@eng 2001-07-10
