Shortcut key to java JFrame
My problem is that i want to create a shortcut key or shortcut key combination like Alt+Tab. I would like to know if i can create a shortcut key, so that from anywhere, both when focus is on a desktop or if another program, pressing this key will make my jframe pop up to the foreground.
Is this at all possible? I will really appriciate any help.

If your java program does not have focus I don't know that you can have it recognize keystrokes being given to another program. That sounds like an OS feature.

Norm's right, you should be able to do this using the OS scripting or native language, but not with Java.
