Some swing components such as text fields have built in support for copy and paste. But if you want to add such support for a component that doesn't, then one of the things you might want to do is support standard keyboard shortcuts. Luckily, there's a tutorial for doing this kind of thing, let's see how they do it: https://docs.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/uiswing/dnd/listpaste.html Uh oh... getKeyStroke("ctrl V") The tutorial simply hardcodes the relevant shortcuts. I suspect that this works fine on windows, and will lead Mac users to grumble. Is there a way to ask Java would the right keyboard shortcut should be? I suppose one could always create a scratch text field just to look through its input map, but seems a bit hacky.
