I understand that the keyPressed(KeyEvent e) can be used to detect key press, but the focus is limited to only the interface, described using java, and not for external programs. Is there anyway of doing what I am proposing without resorting to commercial tools? Thank you aa Back to top jlp Guest Posted: Sat Sep 13, 2008 6:56 pm    Post subject: Re: Key listener apple_amateur a écrit : Quote: Hi all, I will like to implement a stand alone java application that listens to key stokes in the firefox environment.

Google for more information. You can do the same but with more complexity with Unix/Xlib library.
