Hmm. Good question. Not that I know of.

I agree sifting through the L&F seems hacky.
I don’t think I understand exactly what you’re trying to implement here.
If you give me a more concrete example: maybe I (or someone on this
list) can offer a more concrete suggestion?
I’ll add some context in case this speaks to your question.
By default Swing gets this information in places like
BasicTextUI#getInputMap(), which calls:
InputMap shared =
(InputMap)DefaultLookup.get(editor, this,
getPropertyPrefix() + ".focusInputMap”);
The following works on my Mac & Windows machine (I think using JDK 19),
but I wouldn’t be surprised if it fails in other platforms / L&F’s. It
feels brittle, but it might (?) have potential:
private KeyStroke getCopyKeyStroke() {
InputMap inputMap = (InputMap)
UIManager.getDefaults().get("TextField.focusInputMap");
for (KeyStroke keyStroke : inputMap.keys()) {
Object action = inputMap.get(keyStroke);
if ("copy-to-clipboard".equals(action)) {
return keyStroke;
}
}
// this will show all the default keystrokes
// System.out.println(Arrays.asList(inputMap.allKeys()));
return null;
}

Subject RE: how to get find out the keyboard shortcut for the paste
action?
Thanks for the response! I didn’t expect to get one at this point J
It does indeed answer my question!
(Though you didn’t quite get the name right: there’s no Ex at the end…
I take it you’ve done some Windows programming at some point)
But now I have a new question…
Is there any way to get the “usual” letter for a “common” operation?
For instance, lots of programs support copy and paste.
Is there a way to ask Java “what is the standard letter for paste” and
get back “V”?
Again, one could create a scratch text area and grovel through its
input map, but that seems hacky.
