Traversal Keys

Is there a way to move up and down text areas using traversal keys and not just side to side, or to the next closest component?

1) Quit multi-posting, you already have a posting open on this topic:

http://forum.java.sun.com/thread.jspa?threadID=5181346&tstart=25

2) In the future, Swing related questions should be posted in the Swing forum.

3) Read the Swing tutorial on [url http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/uiswing/misc/focus.html]Using the Focus Subsystem[/url]. You should probably be using FORWARD_TRAVERSAL_KEYS (and BACKWARD) not UP_CYCLE (and DOWN).

Don't forget the arrow keys are used to move up and down within the text area. How will the user to able to do this if you change the funtion of the arrow keys?

4) If you need further help then you need to create a [url http://homepage1.nifty.com/algafield/sscce.html]Short, Self Contained, Compilable and Executable, Example Program[/url] (SSCCE) that demonstrates the incorrect behaviour, because I can't guess exactly what you are doing based on the information provided.

Don't forget to use the [url http://forum.java.sun.com/help.jspa?sec=formatting]Code Formatting Tags[/url] so the posted code retains its original formatting.
