All Implemented Interfaces:

Serializable
```
public class NativeKeyEvent
extends NativeInputEvent
```
An event which indicates that a keystroke occurred at global scope.
This low-level event is generated by the native system when a key is pressed or released independent of Java component focus. The event is passed to every NativeKeyListener object which has been registered to receive global key events using the GlobalScreen.addNativeKeyListener(NativeKeyListener) method. Each NativeKeyListener object will receive a NativeKeyEvent when the event occurs.
All NativeKeyEvent objects are dependent on the native platform and keyboard layout. NATIVE_KEY_PRESSED and NATIVE_KEY_RELEASED are generated for every key code received by the native system. The key being pressed or released is indicated by the getKeyCode method, which returns a virtual key code. Native virtual keyCode constants maybe equivalent to their KeyEvent counterparts, however this this not guaranteed.
NATIVE_KEY_TYPED events are produced for NATIVE_KEY_PRESSED events that produce valid Unicode character for the native keyboard layout. The getKeyChar method always returns a valid Unicode character or CHAR_UNDEFINED. For NATIVE_KEY_PRESSED and NATIVE_KEY_RELEASED events, the getKeyCode method returns the event's keyCode. For NATIVE_KEY_TYPED events, the getKeyCode method always returns VK_UNDEFINED.
Virtual key codes only represent the physical key has been pressed and should not be mistaken with the character mapped to that key by the operating system. To determine the Unicode representation of the NativeKeyEvent, please use the getKeyChar() method for the NATIVE_KEY_TYPED event associated with that virtual key codes.

              int keyLocation)
```
    Instantiates a new native key event.
    Note that passing in an invalid ID results in unspecified behavior.
    
    Parameters:
    id - an integer that identifies the native event type.
    when - the timestamp for the native event.
    modifiers - the modifier mask for the native event. NativeInputEvent _MASK modifiers should be used as they are not compatible with AWT's InputEvent _DOWN_MASK or the older _MASK modifiers.
    rawCode - the hardware code associated with the native key in this event.
    keyCode - the virtual key code generated by this event, or VK_UNDEFINED (for a key-typed event)
    keyChar - the Unicode character generated by this event, or CHAR_UNDEFINED (for key-pressed and key-released events which do not map to a valid Unicode character).
    keyLocation - the location ID of the key generating this event.

- Method Detail
  - getRawCode
```
public int getRawCode()
```
    Returns the native code associated with the native key in this event. This is an arbitrary number between 0 and 255 (inclusive) used by the operating system to represent a physical key on the keyboard. This code does not necessarily represent the native key's scan code or ascii representation. To maintain platform independence, you should not rely on the consistancy of this value from platform to platform.
    
    Returns:
    the native key code for this event.
  - setRawCode
```
public void setRawCode(int rawCode)
```
    Set the rawCode value in this event. For more information on what this value represents please see getRawCode().
    
    Parameters:
    rawCode - the native key code for this event.
  - getKeyCode
```
public int getKeyCode()
```
    Returns the keyCode associated with this event.
    
    Returns:
    the native virtual key code.
  - setKeyCode
```
public void setKeyCode(int keyCode)
```
    Set the keyCode value in this event.
    
    Parameters:
    keyCode - the native virtual key code.
  - getKeyChar
```
public char getKeyChar()
```
    Returns the native Unicode character associated with this event.
    
    Returns:
    the Unicode character defined for this key event. If no valid Unicode character exists for this key event, CHAR_UNDEFINED is returned.
  - setKeyChar
```
public void setKeyChar(char keyChar)
```
    Set the keyChar value in this event. For example, the NATIVE_KEY_TYPED event for Shift + "a" returns the Unicode value 'A'.
    
    Parameters:
    keyChar - the keyboard character associated with this event.
  - getKeyLocation
```
public int getKeyLocation()
```
    Returns the location of the virtual key for this event.
    
    Returns:
    the location of the virtual key that was pressed or released.
  - getKeyText
```
public static String getKeyText(int keyCode)
```
    Returns a String describing the keyCode, such as "HOME", "F1" or "A". These strings can be localized by changing the awt.properties file.
    
    Parameters:
    keyCode - the native virtual key code generated by this event
    
    Returns:
    a string containing a text description for a physical key, identified by its keyCode.
  - isActionKey
```
public boolean isActionKey()
```
    Returns whether the key in this event is an "action" key. Typically an action key does not fire a unicode character and is not a modifier key.
    
    Returns:
    true if the key is an "action" key, false otherwise
    Since:
    
    1.1
  - paramString
```
public String paramString()
```
    Returns a parameter string identifying this event. This method is useful for event logging and debugging.
    
    Overrides:
    
    paramString in class NativeInputEvent
    
    Returns:
    a string identifying the event and its attributes.
