Question

I’m using accelerator to perform CTRL+C then CTRL+V using java/junit
is there a way to get the value of CTRL+V to check it ?

Answer 1

As mentioned here, a menu accelerator key stroke such as Ctrl+V should be constructed in a platform independent manner:

int mask = Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().getMenuShortcutKeyMask();
JMenuItem menuItem = new JMenuItem(…);
menuItem.setAccelerator(KeyStroke.getKeyStroke(KeyEvent.VK_V, mask));

For comparison, you can get the menu item’s KeyStroke via getAccelerator() or from any KeyEvent via KeyStroke.getKeyStrokeForEvent().
