Implements: Serializable

Details
InputMap provides a binding between an input event (currently only KeyStrokes are used) and an Object. InputMaps are usually used with an ActionMap, to determine an Action to perform when a key is pressed. An InputMap can have a parent that is searched for bindings not defined in the InputMap.

As with ActionMap if you create a cycle, eg:

   InputMap am = new InputMap();
   InputMap bm = new InputMap():
   am.setParent(bm);
   bm.setParent(am);

Constructors
public InputMap()
Creates an InputMap with no parent and no mappings.

Methods
public KeyStroke[] allKeys()
Returns an array of the KeyStrokes defined in this InputMap and its parent. This differs from keys() in that this method includes the keys defined in the parent.
public void clear()
Removes all the mappings from this InputMap.
public Object get(KeyStroke keyStroke)
Returns the binding for keyStroke, messaging the parent InputMap if the binding is not locally defined.
public KeyStroke[] keys()
Returns the KeyStrokes that are bound in this InputMap.
public void put(KeyStroke keyStroke, Object actionMapKey)
Adds a binding for keyStroke to actionMapKey. If actionMapKey is null, this removes the current binding for keyStroke.
public void remove(KeyStroke key)
Removes the binding for key from this InputMap.
public int size()
Returns the number of KeyStroke bindings.

Properties
public void setParent(InputMap map) Details
