Press a key with Java

Question

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.

Answer 1

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);
