Is there any better way to get keycodes of these ()<>?:"{}|!@#$%^&* as a string for a method without this long process JavaFX
I first check if the shift is pressed if yes .getCode() and if that keyCOde = SLASH then use "?" question mark. But this is pretty long
scene.setOnKeyPressed(new EventHandler<KeyEvent>() {
@Override
public void handle(KeyEvent e) {
if(e.isShiftDown()) {
switch (e.getCode()) {
case SLASH:
bot_list.get(0).hit("?");
break;
case LEFT_PARENTHESIS:
bot_list.get(0).hit(",");
break;
case RIGHT_PARENTHESIS:
bot_list.get(0).hit(".");
break;
case QUOTE:
bot_list.get(0).hit("'");
break;
case SEMICOLON:
bot_list.get(0).hit(":");
break;
case BRACELEFT:
bot_list.get(0).hit("{");
break;
case BRACERIGHT:
bot_list.get(0).hit("}");
break;
case OPEN_BRACKET:
bot_list.get(0).hit("[");
break;
case CLOSE_BRACKET:
bot_list.get(0).hit("]");
break;
case BACK_SLASH:
bot_list.get(0).hit("|");
break;
case BACK_QUOTE:
bot_list.get(0).hit("~");
break;
}
}
If you're willing to use the KEY_TYPED
event instead, you can get the output using the KeyEvent.character
property:
targetNode.setOnKeyTyped(evt -> {
System.out.println(evt.getCharacter());
});
On the other hand you cannot use KeyEvent.code
from KEY_TYPED
events.
