What is the correct way to separate between F1 and i.e. CTRL+F1 respective SHIFT-CTRL+F1 within an KeyListener registered behind i.e. a JButton?
public void keyPressed(KeyEvent event) {
int key = event.getKeyCode();
logger.debug("KeyBoard pressed char(" + event.getKeyChar() + ") code (" + key + ")");
}
.. always gives me 112 for F1, 113 for F2 and so on. I understand that I can handle it by taking care of the keyPressed() respective for keyReleased for CTRL / SHIFT / ALT / etc on my own, but I hope that there is a better way.
Many many thanks!!!

Accepting keyboard input in Java is done using a Scanner object. This statement declares a reference variable named console. The Scanner object is associated with standard input device (System.in).
Use KeyEvent. getKeyChar() and KeyEvent. getKeyCode() to find out which key the user pressed.
For example, pressing the Shift key will cause a KEY_PRESSED event with a VK_SHIFT keyCode, while pressing the 'a' key will result in a VK_A keyCode. After the 'a' key is released, a KEY_RELEASED event will be fired with VK_A. Separately, a KEY_TYPED event with a keyChar value of 'A' is generated.
The Solution lies in the parent of KeyEvent (InputEvent)
