If I remember correctly, in Swing I solved something similar by setting a generic keyboard listener to the frame and then determine on shift-press what component the mouse was over using the coordinates. Maybe that works here as well.

Hi, I have the following use case: When the user presses shift and the mouse is hover the chart component the cursor must change to an open hand cursor signaling to the user that the chart is ready for a panning action. The problem is that for this to be possible I want the chart to be able to listen to keyboard events even when it doesn't have focus. I think this is not possible and I wonder why. Swing was the same, you could only listen to keyboard events if the control had focus. Is this a technical limitation? If there is no technical limitation I think it would be better to remove this restriction, I think it is limiting and the above scenario is a good use case to show that. Thanks, best regards,
