'Nother Q.

Also any other key name will work.

Another possibility is the getKey() method: This method works only one time per act. If you want to check more often on it in one act you have to do it this way:

To use a java.awt.event.KeyListener in an if clause is not so easy like in Greenfoot. When you add a KeyListener to a JFrame (or any other gui) this KeyListener can override the methods keyPressed(KeyEvent), keyReleased(KeyEvent) and keyTyped(KeyEvent). Now this methods will be called when a key is pressed, released or typed. But you can't check whether there is a key currently pressed (not directly). You can check which key is pressed because the key can be identified by the KeyEvent (using the methods getKeyChar() or getKeyCode()). But to check it like in greenfoot you need to create some supporting stuff. I created such an support in my Greenfoot Full Screen Demo scenario (in the classes GreenfootKeyListener and FullScreenWindow) if you want to see an example. But probably ther is an easyer way to do help you with your problem. What exactly do you want to do with the KeyListener?

TOD, can I use your code(below) instead of the isKeyDown("") method in Greenfoot?

Well this method doesn't work the same way as the isKeyDown method. This method returns the button number of a mouse event. So it returns 1 if the left mouse button is pressed (in this mouseEvent) 2 if the middle button is clicked ... So the funktion of this method is an other. For a method that works like the Greenfoot.isKeyDown method you should have a look at the isKeyDown method in FullScreenWindow and at the class FullScreenKeyInfo. Also there is a method getKey() in the FullScreenWindow which you could use. It works like the Greenfoot.getKey() method.
