Is there a way to make VK_SPACE act a VK_TAB in JTable?
xxu
this.
class KL extends KeyAdapter {
public void keyPressed(KeyEvent e)
{
char c = e.getKeyChar();
if (c==KeyEvent.VK_SPACE) {
c = KeyEvent.VK_TAB;
e.setKeyChar(c);
}
This didn't seems to work!

It didn't work because it is not an instance of a KeyAdapter, it is a
KeyAdapter class definition. You must make one. Saying how the class is
defined is not enough.
It is the difference between owning a blueprint for a car, and actually
driving that car.

JTable. Trust me, the following three lines of code just works fine inside the
KeyAdapter.
c = Character.toUpperCase(c);
e.setKeyChar(c); //Must call this to set the new char
System.out.println(c);
But not the VK_TAB key.

Well, you didn't either say that or post the code.

Trust me, you need to post the code that is at issue. Without this code, the
issue is its absence.

The tab key is handled separately, by the focus manager. Read some recent
posts on this issue:
