I was wondering if it is possible to press a key with Java. Not quite sure how to approach this. There must be some type of class that has like sendKeyPress(); or something.
In Java, there are three types of KeyEvent. The types correspond to pressing a key, releasing a key, and typing a character. The keyPressed method is called when the user presses a key, the keyReleased method is called when the user releases a key, and the keyTyped method is called when the user types a character.
You can do it easily with the Robot
class. That just virtually presses the button, with no special targeting or anything.
For example, to press Enter:
Robot r = new Robot();
r.keyPress(KeyEvent.VK_ENTER);
r.keyRelease(KeyEvent.VK_ENTER);
