You can add KeyListeners to any component (f)

        f.addKeyListener(new KeyListener() {

            @Override
            public void keyTyped(KeyEvent e) {
            }

            @Override
            public void keyPressed(KeyEvent e) {
                if ((e.getKeyCode() == KeyEvent.VK_C) && ((e.getModifiers() & KeyEvent.CTRL_MASK) != 0)) {
                    System.out.println("woot!");
                }
            }

            @Override
            public void keyReleased(KeyEvent e) {
            }
        });
