KeyAdapter can't recieve Tab presses

[Malohkan]

I have my class extending KeyAdapter and with the keyPressed method I can recieve clicks for all keys on my keyboard except for the Tab key, and yes, my Tab key actually works.  I want this key, why can't I get it?

Tab is a special key - it's for switching the focus around... therefore you have to handle it seperately.

implement KeyEventPostProcessor

KeyboardFocusManager.getCurrentKeyboardFocusManager().addKeyEventPostProcessor(<whatever>);

1   2   3   4   5

public boolean postProcessKeyEvent(KeyEvent e) {       System.out.println("<-p"); //this one catches tab      return true; }
