Class KeyStrokeMap

java.lang.Object
  abbot.tester.KeyStrokeMap

All Implemented Interfaces:

KeyStrokeMapProvider

Direct Known Subclasses:

MapGenerator

public class KeyStrokeMap
extends Object
implements KeyStrokeMapProvider

Provides read of local-specific mappings for virtual keycode-based KeyStrokes to characters and vice versa. The map format is a properties file with each line containing an entry of the form
VKNAME.MOD=VALUE
The VKNAME is the String suffix of the KeyEvent VK_ keycode. MOD is the integer value of the current modifier mask (assumes only a single modifier has any effect on key output, interesting values are considered to be 0, 1, 2, 8). VALUE is the char value of the KEY_TYPED keyChar corresponding to the VK_ keycode and modifiers, as an integer value.
