Why doesn pressing the Enter key activate the default button on a Swing dialog?
Ans : The default keymap for Swing text components (derived from JTextComponent) binds the Enter key (VK_ENTER) to the ActionEvent for text fields. This was done to be compatible with the behavior of java.awt.Textfield. To enable use of the Enter key to activate the default button, remove the Enter key binding from the default text component keymap as follows: static { KeyStroke enter = KeyStroke.getKeyStroke(KeyEvent.VK_ENTER, 0); Keymap map = JTextComponent.getKeymap(JTextComponent.DEFAULT_KEYMAP); map.
