Re: How I can control Keyboard?
Hello Mohd and welcome to the Java Programming Forums.
I don't think its possible to swap the keyboards mapping in this way.
What you could do is write an ActionListener method so that when a character is typed into the jtextarea, it is automatically updated and swapped with the desired character.
I'm sure it will be quite complicated though.
Have you wrote any code already? I will try to post some kind of example to help you get started..

Hi JavaPF,
I solved this problem as you said
I used ActionListener and when user type for example j
type i or anything else
in method keyTyped I used consume() to stop typing any character to jtextarea
and in keyPressed() here was my coding.
Get the character or keycode of the key and
did what I want.
Thank you.
