Allowing TAB character entry into JComboBox

With an editable combo box using the default editor, when a TAB char is entered it is being grabbed by the focus traversal stuff. How can I set this up so the char is entered into the document?

You could try creating a custom editor that uses a JTextArea as the editor instead of a JTextField.

That may work, but I decided to find the missing tab.

Had to do both

Component c = getTextField();

Set<AWTKeyStroke> set = Collections.emptySet();

c.setFocusTraversalKeys(KeyboardFocusManager.FORWARD_TRAVERSAL_KEYS, set);

c.setFocusTraversalKeys(KeyboardFocusManager.BACKWARD_TRAVERSAL_KEYS, set);

and add binding of VK_TAB to

new TextAction("tab") {

public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {

((JTextField)e.getSource()).replaceSelection("\t");

}

}
