Interface IMovementKeys

public interface IMovementKeys

Interface that represents a set of movement keys. Key names are the virtual key names without the leading "VK_". See the Java documentation under "KeyEvent". To change a key's behavior from being initiated from being pressed to being released, simply change the name returned by getXXKey() to "released "+keyname, e.g. return "released END" for getStopKey(). See KeyStroke.getKeyStroke(String s) for more information.
