Question

I have a onClick: function(event). All I want is to assign a shortcut key for this onClick event. When the link is clicked execute a shortcut key, for example: ctrl+D.

Thank you.

Answer 1

In a simpler way, you wouldn’t actually try to add a shortcut for your onClick() event. What you would actually want is to add a KeyListener to a specific component (basically the same component on which you’ve added the MouseListener) and you would try to perform the same action as you’re doing when the user clicks on the component.

“How to Write a Key Listener” might be a good place to start to understand more about KeyListeners.
