is there a problem with copy paste using Ctrl+insert and Shift+insert

Include the following in your initialization code, before you create any components: InputMap im = (InputMap)UIDefaults.get("TextField.focusInputMap");

im.put(KeyStroke.getKeyStroke("control INSERT"), DefaultEditorKit.copyAction);

im.put(KeyStroke.getKeyStroke("shift INSERT"), DefaultEditorKit.pasteAction);

im.put(KeyStroke.getKeyStroke("shift DELETE"), DefaultEditorKit.cutAction);

You'll need to add the appropriate imports, too: import javax.swing.InputMap;

import javax.swing.KeyStroke;

import javax.swing.UIDefaults;

import javax.swing.text.DefaultEditorKit;

It seems they accidentally removed those bindings from JTextField under MetalLookAndFeel in JDK 1.5. They've been restored in JDK 1.6.
