EVALUATION We can probably do this for Tiger. ###@###.### 2002-01-25 We'll probably need APIs to test for equality of KeyStrokes that include location, and that don't include location. My original idea was to have AWTKeyStroke implement the java.util.Comparator interface, and have equals() and compare() be inconsistent. The problem, of course, is that this would impede use of AWTKeyStroke in Maps. Perhaps a better idea would be simply to provide two APIs: equals() and equalsDespiteLocation() (perhaps with a better name). Maybe equals(Object o) and equals(Object o, boolean ignoreLocation) ? ###@###.### 2002-01-28 This bug report was filed by sky@sfbay in response to feedback on the swing feedback alias.
